I hope someone breeds a World champ redbone someday, I like these breeding threads, its very interesting to see the different opinions and also to learn about the ways that some dogs reproduce and some don't, I had a female in the early 90's that was a half breed and got bred to every dog of every breed that the nieghbor hood had, those pups made some very nice treedogs and they had 0 in the way of linebreeding/inbreeding, she just threw treedogs. No real reason that could be determined. I hope to see the breed as a whole improve to catch the attn of coonhunters from other breeds, it takes more in the way of selection and culling to improve in my opinion, no matter the breeding theory, select,breed,cull, and focus heavy on the natural ability to get treed. A nice pleasure hound can win hunts if taken, the just have to strike a coon tree the sucker and stay put, if they do that they will win their share, we all know that, I like Mike think linebreeding will increase the # of good redbones in any given litter if selection is under some kind of quality control standard, the real battle is getting folks willing to take those pups and see how they turn out. It will happen tho someday, I'm in no way in any kind of competition to be the one to breed up the 1st WLD champ. I'm after a little better coondog on my lead as each generation comes along. And as of now I've not bred a single female that I own, I'm in selection mode at the moment, waiting to see which Jack daughter that is the most similar to him to breed back to him. The uncle to niece cross seems like a dandy, the half bro sis cross (Banjo) made a few yrs ago went under Jack and its product is heading toward Goshen Moe, I'm excited to see the results but it just takes time to sort thru them. I wish all the best of luck, I've slightly touched on some plans put into effect a few yrs ago, time is a real factor in breeding up better coondogs! It takes lots of it to see a plan thru to the finished product
