Why are a lot of hare bred dogs more black and white with little tan than your traditional tri color dogs that are cottontail bred? I have owned both and I was just wondering why that is?
It just seems like all your hare bred dogs seems to have a lot of white and black and little brown.

Re: hare bred color dogs different than cottontail dogs
just the way the cookie crumbled man,,,, there is no real answer for any hounds color. Hare dogs in the north just like the BlackCreek dogs in the deep south and any crap ton of other Group/Line of dogs across the country may have certain pockets in any area were the breeding is focused on a couple hot stud dogs. With that the genes are going to produce like specimens, The color dont run the rabbit it really has nothing to do with nothing. We just all have our favorite running traits and yes our favorite colors--so we breed them that way. I d like to say that no one has ever bred a dog just cause he was handsome and the perfect looking dog(color) but Id be lieing LOL and we all know it.

Re: hare bred color dogs different than cottontail dogs
I HAVE A DIRTY POND BLAKCY'S LEGACY MALE STRAIGHT OUT OF UP STATE NEW YORK. HE IS ALL HAIR BREED AND HE IS A BLACKET BLACK TRI COLOR VERY LITTLE WHITE. HE AND HIS BROTHER AND THEY HAVE BEEN BRED TO OTHER CROSSES THAT COME OUT MOSTLY WHITE ONCE AND A WHILE SOME ARE TRI COLOR.
I NOW THAT UP TILL THE EARLY 1980'S GUN HUNTERS IN OH WOULD KILL ANY PUPS THAT CAME OUT WITH SO MUCH OPEN MARKED PUPS. AS FAR BACK AS I CAN REMEMBER COTTON TAIL DOGS WHERE BRED TO HAVE ALL BLANKET BACK AND IF YOU LOOK AT THE HAIR BREEDING BACK AS FAR AS THE PIC STARTED SHOWING UP COLOR DID NOT MATTER TO THE HAIR BREEDING FOR HUNTING BUT MOST WHERE TRY COLOR LIKE A FOX HOUND. AND SHOW HOUNDS WHERE JUDGED TO BE TRI COLOR MUCH LIKE THE BEAGLE THAT ARE BLANKET BACK. AS FAR BACK AS YOU GO TO THE DAYS OF KINGS AND QUENNS RULING THE TRI COLOR HOUNDS ARE IN THE HISTORY OF THE BASIC HOUND. ALTHOUGH WHITE IS MOST ANIMALS LIKE HORSES, COWS ,AND PIGS, IT IS BROUGHT OUT EASILY AND DIFFICULT TO EXTINGUISH. THE BLACK LAB WAS BROUGHT OUT ONLY BECAUSE THE EARLY BREEDERS WOULD NOT EVER BREED BACK TO A DOG THAT GAVE WHITE AND KILL ANY THAT THROWED WHITE. SAME STORE BEHIND DOBERMAN PINCHERS AND ROUTTWEILERS. SO ALL THAT BEING SAID THE WHITE IS EASILY A DOMINANT COLOR WHEN CROSS TO ANAIMALS THAT ARE NOT RELATED. IF YOU COLOR CONTROLE YOU MUST BREED FOR IT OR WHITE WILL COME TO THE TOP. EXSAMPLE THE WOLF IS MOSTLY GRAY OR BLACK NOT HALF AND HALF.

I have seen Blacky up here in NY and his Dam,as well as pups, grand pups. Andy P his owner lived about 10 minutes from me here in NY. Although Blacky was black Blanketed. A lot of offspring sand siblings along with other dogs in that line came out with a lot of white, and some where open marked. I still say today that Blacky
