My two lacy's on the far left, tri male and red female. For visual reference. My male is rough as he!!, will bay on large hogs. He usually hunts short @500 yds, but will stick on a hot trail or a runner. Always busy and can hunt all day. My female is pretty much the same except not rough, will stop one but won't try to catch and hunts a little further out. But there is truth to getting the right line of dogs to get consistensy to hunt.
