Gerald, what I am talking about has nothing to do with placing all the emphasis on a stud dog, or a female dog for that matter. I probably should have been a little more clear in my question, but I mainly want to know of examples of when this has been done successfully with two good coon treeing dogs, & what the breeding behind those dogs was.
Here is an example:
Say both Male & Female are well above average coon treeing dogs.
Male excels in natural independence, is alone the majority of the time, & doesn't have leave the zip code to be alone. Male has has excellent layup ability, quick one bark locating dog with excellent accuracy, lower end strike dog, but has an average mouth & just a tick above average track speed. Is a hard going dog that goes hunting great alone or with company.
Female has an outstanding mouth, well above average track speed, quick strike dog. Female is a quick one bark locating dog with excellent accuracy that split trees regularly, but is with other dogs more often than not. Female is lacking layup ability, goes hunting great alone or with company, but would like to see her go a little harder.
If crossing the male & female from the example above, the hope would be to come away with pups which are more balanced than either parent for the majority of the litter.
The like positive traits maintained: Quick one bark locators w/excellent accuracy, go hunting good alone or with company.
Traits taken from both parents (compensating one another's weakness) to add desired balance: Well above average mouths, natural independence, layup ability, well above average track speed, quick strike dogs, that are hard going.
I hope this example makes a little sense 
Thank you everyone for your input! Keep it coming!
