I have said for a long time now...if I were to get me a yellow cur it would more than likely be a Ladner...if they tree a squirrel and track a coon they will for sure lead a pack around and make them look good...
There is a man up the country who bought some ladner bmc 's and bred them up to another level and he has beaten the hounds and mt curs in coon trials consistently...
That's exactly what I was thinking. I've heard of a guy around here who went to some club hunts for coons and those hounds couldn't handle them ybmc's because they weren't giving mouth on the ground
