I have bred females to Jay, Stone, Tell, and Cord. All the crosses produced extremely well. My cross out of Dolly and Jay every offspring were running and treeing before 10 months old. Only 3 of the pups were competition hunted. One female made Gr.Nt.Ch. Another female lacked 1 win to be Gr.Nt.Ch. This female only lost 2 cast when her owner decided he was done. The male I made a Nt.Ch. and after 3 consecutive bad hunts I quit campaigning him.
The Stone cross produce an entire litter that were all running and treeing before 10 months old. Unfortunately, the whole litter except 1 female were dead from getting hit by cars by 12 months old. The female was tied out and allowed to bark and barked herself out. She ended up with a pleasure hunter.
Tell reproduced several titled dogs. Cord also reproduced several titled dogs including Gr.Nt.Ch.Ch. Crocker's Quick Flash. In addition, many of these offspring reproduced. Some of these dogs were also sold to big game hunters. I had 1 cat hunter who had a 4 month old he let out to pee, and when he turned around the pup was gone. The pup was at a tree on the other side of a white water stream.
I have hunted with so many Jay dog's I couldn't count. In one word balance best described them. I always hear how many slick treed and did this and that, but that is not what I witnessed.
