This is my opion!! Just cause the hound has a good ped dont mean its a good one to breed to!! Many, many hounds are bred from good hounds and dont turn out!! When i beed a hound it is out of hounds that have proven them selfs many times!!
For a example. I breed my sandy and Hunter hounds a couple years ago. The litter did not turn out cause the pups were way to big for coyote hounds.
Both hounds are on the bigger side but the litter didnt turn out. The 2 hounds are my fav hounds in my kennel.
I have 3 litters on the ground out of my Rhino hound!! The first 2 litters all turned out very nice hounds!! So i made a 3 cross this time with my Sandy hound. The pups are looking very good for their age. My opion is to breed from proven stalk!!
