So this is breeding 'BETTER' dogs 101...
Lets get it all lined out from the person that started the thread...
You started with a...
the first cross is a leggy pitbull and redbone cross that I only heard was a good redbone and the pit was tall and leggy and good RCD...
Not just two dif lines but totally dif breeds a bulldog and a hound. The hound you never saw hunt or hunted with any of its family/line...only heard.
Then you bred to a...
...the tight bred mt cur was tight kemmer out of some good dogs out of Louisiana.
A then again totally dif breed from a hound or a bulldog and that was bred tight. So I'm sure those traits probably f-1 overrode the other scattered bred dog since it had genetic propensity locked in thru line breeding. But it's traits were also washed out a bit from outcrossing it to a scattered dog from to totally dif breeds with no commonality leaving that offspring not very useful at locking down any consistant traits esp since that wasnt then tightened on and culled to even see results as far as breeding wise.
Then you bred to a...
one of those pups I bred to a pure bred plott out of Wisconsin bred mainly for bear and hog...according to the owner she is a solid hog dog that relayed off from caught hogs...she is out of two of the best plotts the owner had so the pups I have are out of those crosses...
Back, now, with a scattered dog bred to a, I assume tighter family of yer another hound of a totally dif breed. No wonder the pups all look like plotts(going on recollection here).
Of course the propensity once again overrode the now even more scattered and watered down nature of the dog you bred it to. But still yet again washed any breeding wealth plott had to offer beyond a splash of vigor of basically a bow F-1 cross to a plott. ....again at that point the only Wat to know would breed one back to either of its parents or back crossed to a relative of either the redbone, the pit or the kemmer you used then bred that together to check any
real progress.
....and most recently in this thread you talk of using a Parker now. Another tight line of yer a dif breed as your final pc of the puzzle. Before you start to tighten...?
I guess my conclusion is same as last two crosses to tight dogs you made. Just goin along watering everything to a level that trait are washed away before you do the work of any tweaking per say.
As ocenee remarked....I just don't think it's like mixing paint and breeds ain't painting by numbers...
You may want to add a little energy to a tight family by say, just for example trying a birddog, or a little grit by adding a pit. But then it would seem the cross would then have to be doubled back to see any real conclusion.
Then you wanna type from your perch up high in a superior tone
I make some sound comments and no one comments on them...but say something a little off and I get comments...makes me wonder if that is why we have so many culls out there...
....and right after type
culling does not mean the pup or pups won't work out...it just means not in my yard...
Sound ta me like you have been and are freely admitting here to the one of the reasons so many culls
are 'out there' and saying you will do it again. If I produce on that won't catch I want it permanently takin care of...for good. And I only give dogs away btw.
Seems you would have been lot better of crossing that tight kemmer to a Parker or one those plotts and bred on that in the first place and tweaked from there. I just don't get the logic dude...
....but you do you, and good luck
