I've seen and hunted with and heard of even more folks that used a Parker dog as a cross and had good results.
I chalk it up to a person that stuck to their guns and developed that inbred/linebred-breed/line of dogs that were bred for consistency if working traits and geno/phenotype culled and sorted for generations of the dogs.
...as eluded to earlier. When one crosses a dog, one should pick a line bred dog with traits that compliment or add something to what they may be lacking. That is the only way to stack the deck on an outcross. Even though and individual dog may be exemplary if its scatter bred, or of unknown origin, there is absolutely no way of knowing what it will throw or the consistency it will throw it.
....it's a shot in the dark that will fail more times than not. I've seen it...it can be a heartbreaker, a madding futile dissapointment, and extremw waste of time for the person owning such a superstar of a dog with unknown or scattered origin of a dog trying to copy and set traits and could not even be possible or take longer than the resources of life of that person.
Sure folks can sometimes put two good dogs of dif origin together and get decent dogs. That ain't really so hard looking at things from a consistent outcrossing hybrid vigor type thing but when it comes to consistantly breeding on the cross is where rubber meets the road.
Haven't game dog folks for generations hung peds as line bred on battle/outcross dogs and they be world beaters but were useless for breeding and kept formula hidden? Seems like I've heard that before...lol
The real gold is folks that breed a line or breed tight and honestly and other folks can use those known factors to try and improve or reinvigorate there tight dogs Or vise versa.
I know this is like common knowledge to most but just tryn to give a shout out to those that been and are willing to stick such a thing thru...
