I personally hope that a third registry will be a lost cause. if the base is started off new dogs it will open up registery for cull no registered dogs. the chase and horn have done wonderful job of keeping accurate records and I would hope the use of them would be prohibit.
Sorry you feel that way. The fact is to use the full pedigree of the hounds would be over the top. None would be able to list championship titles and so on as they wouldn't be a part of this registry. So far as single registration. The fact is in time most of the lesser hounds will be breed out and some extremely nice grade hounds will be able too join in and receive the recognition that they deserve. Some of these grade dogs are as good as any registered hounds. In a few years maybe we can have most of them registered and know who has the best in areas where registration isn't important now
Soon you may see foxhunting isnt a fractured up territorial based hound sport with a world champion in every region. You may be a young fellow with grand ideas.Your energies could be focused on competing in this small brotherhood of foxhound people.As a whole and in general we follow a few guidelines.We use a set of standards that have evolved with our times,Masters,National rules. Yes we are opinionated, but we who stay connected know who and what blood is leading. You have basically stated your opinions and that is perfectly acceptable. You have also insulted our two registrations,SFSB,IFSB. Know that many of us are multi generational foxhunters and trace stocks of hounds longer and farther than any form of domestic registration. Good luck with your project.
when I breed hounds I try to look back at generations what works with what,the faults in certain bloodlines to stay clear of starting blind with grade dogs breeders would have no idea of good or bad qualitys and I think there would be more inferior hounds that what is there now.i have been guilty of and very large amount of others have also of making cross that should never been made.thats probally half whats been bred.starting from scratch would make it far worse .its all of us as breeder objective is to improve the bloodline.
I do think in 2015 we are behind times. Don't think need a third registry. I think need ONE registry. And hard to believe there is not a Web site with searchable pedigrees
