I'm a little confused here. How did we go from traits to win the world to lay up dogs? If there are so many good lay up dogs in the bluetick breed, how come one of them can't get to the top? I've been hunting for a few years and have seen my shear of blue dogs in every fashion. Some which have made it high into the World hunt. Most of them were just good solid coon dogs through and through with good handlers. We're getting right back to arguing again about what we need and who has it. I for one know I don't have what I need to get to the top but you can bet I'm still trying to breed a better one. As far as lay up, it's always been a gray area for me so someone needs to enlighten me. I've had dogs that would just fall treed with the coon but the same dog would open very well on trail. Now, explain to me how a dog opens on scent on trail to get to the tree but don't open on floating scent that is traveling through the air to get to a tree with no scent on the tree at all? One other thing? With most all dogs being extremely independent, most to the extent that they won't even check another dog, how could you tell if that dog can't smell another dogs tree or it just doesn't want to bark on another dogs tree?? There are a lot of things that I still am trying to figure out, even after 50 years and I'm not ashamed to admit when I'm wrong. Not here to argue a point just pointing a few things out to kick around. Remember, don't hold a dog responsible for its owners actions. A good dog is a good dog no matter who owns it.
layup ability is one of the traits that its going to take to get to the top, but not just that one trait alone, as I mentioned earlier in this posts, track drifting ability no matter the track conditions, and one locate tree dog, The bluetick breed has all these traits but not in one hound as a package, that is being bred to other blue hounds with the same package, also keep I'm mind it will take these breeding practices as rule over a period of time to become the expectation when you cut a blue dog lose, that is when we will show up in the top dog spot with some level of consistency.......
