Mr. Lambert
If you would stop ranting about everything, you might just read more carefully. I only mentioned the fox dogs, beagles, bird dogs, stag hounds , cur dogs to clarify that most every breed popular theses days has these genes running through their blood. Redbones, Walkers, English and Bluetick are a mixture of these dogs and more. As a Redbones breeder you should know the history of the Redbones, correct me if they don't have any of this offblood in them. For the record the t gene you mentioned is usually only found in the short tailed dog breeds, you might want to research this. I absolutely know that it is a serious fault in the Redbone breed, maybe a cur dog in the wood pile. I did hint at the possibility of putting something back in a certain breed if the desired trait was getting to weak. I bet you the original breeders of our breeds did not care who liked what they were breeding, they were trying to please themselves. If everyone thought like you about breeding, there would be no established breeds as we know them today. I only suggest that some of the desirable traits in certain breeds may have become watered down and not so dominant these days. Put it back or do without, the choice is in your hands. If you think your breed is at its best and can't be improved, just keep winning, if not you may want to make a behind the barn cross. Dave
