Breed to the best hog dog and make sure it has the traits that you are looking for in your dogs.

I'd find a male dog bred similar to your gyp and make a cross on something that you know works. Good luck though

if it were me and needed strike dogs I would go with the black and tan hound...because I would be looking at what normally throws a higher percentage of hunting dogs...

In theory, you should look at the style and traits of your bitch, and choose the male that combined with her, would make your 'ideal' style of dog that suits your way of hunting.

Whenever I plan on breeding a bitch at some point, I always know what male I plan to put to her pretty far in advance. If I have to think that hard, I likely wouldn't be breeding her.

Of course nothing is guaranteed, but you can go by what you DO know about each dog.

Is your bitch lacking in any department? Choose a male that posesses strength in the area you feel she is lacking.

If she's not lacking in any way, choose a male whose style would compliment hers in theory. Until you have pups on the ground to raise up and try out, it's all speculation. 

Or you could just go with what alot of folks do, and breed your 'best' to your 'best.'

Breeding best to best does not necessarily mean breeding
Your two best dogs.

It should mean that if your best dog is breedworthy, you find the best dog that you can find and are invited to breed to. (no matter who owns it)

None of the above in my opinion. Find a top notch male and pay the stud fee
