i can not figure out why folks are hunting black dogs and crossing them to walkers.
if you guys dont think a black dog can compete with a walker.why the hell are you hunting a black dog?
you are not going to make a name for yourself in the B&T breed by cross breeding.this was done before most of us came along.it does not improve our breed.imo
we have every thing we need already.we got drive accuracy and above all black dogs got plenty of smarts.you fellows need to look around a little more and quit me tooing your buddies.
it might just be your training program.if your a half ass trainer and want a good dog.hire a trainer.

Hardrock will forevermore smash the argument that crossing to Walkers won't make winners ... don't matter what anyone thinks or if he improves the breed ... you can't argue with what he's done or folks that want to try it themselves.

Experimenting is how all breeds improve , but crossing or tight breeding are both better suited for big ranches that can do it on a large enough scale to find the needle in the haystack.

Alot of arguments start and rage on for years because both parties are right and sharing real experience ... but it doesn't get matched up and put into context.

If you are a small kennel that hunts and sell extras ... not every method of breeding will give you the best odds of success .

A stud owner can afford to breed to every line and every breed out there if folks want .. and buy back top young dogs from the entire crop to use for himself ... for those guys , the shotgun breeding works because they have selection and maybe stud fee money saved up to afford it .

Ever way dogs can be bred has produced good dogs and spun off lines and breeds .... just find the one that works best for you .

Mike,
You make some good points. I don't know if you are aware that Pkc has a crossbred program that guys from all the breeds are getting involved in. Last year the crossbred dogs were second in money earned for the year, I don't think this is coincidental.

Do you own any other dog besides a Black and Tan? House pet, rabbit dog, coyote dog, squirrel dog etc? Just curious.

I can't speak for anyone else but last time I checked we still had the freedom to chose the color and breed of the dogs we own for pets as well as the hunting dogs we own.

The question I have for you Mike is what are you so afraid of that you don't want guys participating in the Pkc crossbred program?

I don't see the walker guys upset that bluetick, English, redbone, and black and tans are being bred to their breed. Maybe that is a clue of your fears.

Time will tell if the Pkc crossbreds can compete consistently at the national level but based on the Pkc standings the past 2 years they are already in second position and growing stronger.

This response is not intended to start a argument but rather a clarification of why crossbreds are gaining popularity amongst Pkc hunters.

Mike isn't referring to pkc and their crossbred program what he's talking about is ukc registering crossbreeds as purebreds. I'm not saying anyone is right or wrong by breeding what they want or like but it shouldn't be labeled as something its not.

I believe your right that most of this was done before we all started, seemed like in the 80's I seen it first hand a bunch, it was common practice to patch papers where I came from, But, I do not agree with you when you say that it does not improve the breed, and I only say that, not because I am an avid crossbreeder, because I'm not, but, because with my experience in the dogs that I've owned, the ones with the large white stripe on their chests and the monkey faced ones, have been the better ones. All these dogs had Legit Black and Tan pedigrees on paper, but, a fellar would have to be extremely naive to think that these are pure bred Black and Tan traits. Most black and tan dogs that I grew up with were no huntin', long eared, big bawl mouthed, cold nosed, medium tree dogs. Great for pleasure hunting. In recent years (last 20) you see alot more chop on track, weaker mouthed black dogs out there, but most of these dogs are coon treeing machines. For me, I want the hard hunting, big mouthed, stay til you get there, no chewing( Black and Tan ) tree dog.I guess what I'm saying is that if I don't know about it, I guess I don't care, all this is just my opinion, and you bring up a great point. I just want the best, like you.

you guys need to look inside the breed.we have all the drive independance tree power and anything else you could look for.
just get out and go hunting with folks you dont know and check other dogs out.you will find what your looking for without having to go outside the breed.

i have nothing against crossbreeds or any other breed of dog out there.i dont care what another fellow hunts.what i do care about is keeping the B&T as pure as possible and i dont see going backwards to do it.

yes i am afraid of the crossbreed program.one day my pure black and tan could turn out to have pink eyes a bottle nose and purple spots all over him.lol

UKC doesn't have anything to do with single registration , that's the breed clubs ... never understand how so many folks try to slide UKC under the bus on breed standard issues.

I don't doubt there are purebred B&T's with any style you want , but give credit where it's due ... alot of the high powered studs were crossbreds and you will never convince folks that want another Hardrock or any other shaggy haired , dewclaw , monkey face having big named stud .. that they don't have the right to pursue it.

You can blame the UKC crossbreds being registered on the B&T Assc. If you don't like crossbreds being registered clean house and vote in new officers that will enforce the B&T Breed Standards. As of now they aren't worth the paper they are written on...

Didn't UKC create the new Breed Leopard Hound for a place to put those crossbreeds??

Cross breed all you want, just don't register them as black & tans. Also exactly how many Grand Night Champions did the great and powerful Hardrock produce if he was indeeed the savior of the Black & tan breed as everyone that backs cross breeds thinks he was?

I personally dont see the big deal with cross breeding with all the genetic conditions coming up in all breeds such as thyroid problems fertility problems and such fresh new genetics (HYBRID VIGOR) is a great idea it doesnt mean u have to breed to them or like it. There are several lines of black dogs from the past that still today are producing longer or rough hair rear dew claws yellow eyed and flag tailed. Even the breeders from the past crossed outside the breed. If this is about looking like you need help from the walker breed. I se absolutely no probleem with registering them as long as it is known instead of registered as purebred like they were in the past. It really doesnt matter what anyone thinks as long as ukc thinks they are missing out on their slice of the pie and letting pkc have it

I do not have any problems with cross breeding hounds to get the style of dog that pleases you. But if you choose to go that route u should register them as a cross bred hound instead of Walker b&t blue tick and so on. That's just my opinion.

I agree with you Shaun,ive always said if UKC had a crossbreed registry.The prob would be solved.The problem is a crossbred hound is not allowed to hunt in UKC events.Therefore they are registered as a purebred hound.We need another door opened.JMO.
