Let’s talk breeding!
Topic 1. Line breeding & my opinion of what it’s good for.
I truly believe from personal experiences it locks in good and bad traits. I also think if you get more dominant on the bad you better stop right there. It’s almost impossible to over take the bad with good.

Topic 2. Breeding for traits.

I have noticed you can breed for traits only. Mouth for example. I have been successful on reprodcing mouth. I have bred the same breed and I have cross bred it. It doesn’t seem to matter. It carries on.
However, if you think you can take a lessor mouth dog to a big mouth dog and get a majority of the litter to have a big mouth, you will be upset.

3. Cross breeding on traits to change negative traits within your dog.
I have noticed I can take a cross bred dog and get more of a correction factor in a negative trait I want to fix on the first cross.

As of now I am trying to see what happens when I use two cross bred dogs back to a pure bred to see if you can lock in mouth and independence. I am hoping I don’t loose anything.

Has anyone else noticed any of the same?

Happy Holidays!

Does anyone notice these same issues with starting a young hounds?

So last night I took a young female to the woods at night for the first time.
She is at the point she needs to start going to get the fundamentals of
1. Here he comes with a light and I am going somewhere.
2. Here I am riding in the box with kennel mates.
3. Why are they all running off and where are they going.

A little history on this female pup (Sally).
She has been raised her at my house from 8 weeks old. Has spent 3 months in a pup pen in my woods. Typically I leave them in it till they start showing interest. This pup has been baying and barking treed at things and not stopping. Im not talking about barking because of being penned or nuisance barking.
So I took her out and kenneled her with older dogs.

I took her with a very seasoned older dog (Chance)and a female (Oakley)that can tree a c**n. I didn’t expect much and got exactly what I wanted to see out of the training trip for her.

The other female Oakley on this hunt for her level of capabilities was not a productive hunt. I should have put her in the box and left her there until c**ns started moving.
Oakley, is an open trailing dog will run and a little trashy when she has company. Solo you don’t get the same from her. You put her with something she is going to be first to do something wrong or right.
With c**ns not moving till later in the hunt gave her prime opportunities to do the wrong thing. The older dog Chance did his thing. Hunted out circled back checked her twice and moved on.

I believe in giving the opportunity to fail. That shows we’re a dog is. I knew c**ns wouldn’t move till late. However, I was testing Oakley. I was taking the pup just to see and show what her next few months are going to be. I will not take Sally with Oakley once she starts running on track and starting to tree.
I need to back off on Oakley with hunting when nothing is moving and putting her with dogs till she gets more consistent.

All game moves with the moon. I use the moon in my training. I have learned that a week and a half possibly two weeks after a full moon c**ns will move right for the working hounds man.
During the full moon they don’t.
Coming into a full moon they start to moving later in the night.

Your thoughts?
