So, who are the best females that we should be looking for pups out of??? Maybe we need a new post.
To get my attention if they are young and have not yet proven themselves as reproducers.....they need to have proven themselves better than a majority of the dogs they have hunted against and the only way to do that in my opinion is competition hunts. I also look at the dogs behind them....were they winners? Were they reproducers? I like lines that that show a big impact from particular females....such as Outlaw Jessie, Moonlight Kate, Pepper Ann, and a few I have a good feeling about in the future such as Moonlight Deana, Nighty Nite Amber, and Britt and Breanna. They are all proven winners, come from a line of winning females, and are starting to show they can reproduce the same qualities that they possess in their pups. The question is...what males should they be bred to?
When you look at Kate and her daughter Pepper Ann it looks like they reproduce great with whatever you breed them too....but make no mistake, those crosses were carefully thought out and planned by the men who have owned those dogs.....as are most great crosses. John Biggert recently made a heavy, heavy linebred cross on Pepper Ann that he is very excited about after seeing some great things from pups that are just 4 months old. These are the types of crosses that will make or break a dog as far as reproducing ability goes. I applaud him and others like him for taking chances and moving the breed forward. Just remember that getting those pups into the "right" hands is just as or more important than the crosses we make. If pups don't get the chance to develop properly and show what they can do....none of us can get a clear picture of any dogs reproducing ability. I see quite a few high quality females in this breed who should have the ability to reproduce great pups if bred to the right male. Lets just hope that future pups find their way into the hands of people who are serious about doing what it takes to make sure they reach their full potential. I could not be happier with the pups I have right now. I can't remember ever having this many top prospects started at the same time.....I feel pretty lucky to be in that kind of position and I hope alot of other redbone people find themselves in a similar position in the future. I think things are lining up for this breed and its just a matter of time before they come together and we see great things start to happen. Good luck everyone.....Shane
PS, there are many other great reproducing females current and past that I didn't mention. I only referenced a few of the ones who my current dogs go back to and that I am very familiar with. I really like to see females in my dogs pedigree that proved they could reproduce when crossed on different males over time. Sometimes we see females who reproduced great...but only on one particular male....and of course there are males that are the same way. I do alot more thorough homework when looking at dogs like that....but they still interest me as reproducers.
