Choosing The Right Pup

Reuben....I THINK that's a practice that is pretty common among old hound men. Their lines are bred so tight....Confirmation wise...they are ALL the same and they have so much confidence in their hunting ability that it just doesn't matter. I heard a story along the same lines about an old timer who could tell you exactly how a litter would turn out, how they would run/hunt....just by who the parents were.

Halfbreed with his older dogs use to work along those lines and I've seen quite a few runts and left over pups out of his yard make dogs.

Like you though....I myself am more apt to do some studying and make my choices, lol.
