I have 6 month old pups that will consistantly roll and hunt a mile deep and bay anything that moves, yet I refuse to take credit for any type of training. I haven't done anything but put feed to these dogs...
Sounds like u were claiming they do in Ur other post, I'm glad u cleared that up I was curious bout that lol
no doubt it can b bred into them, but it can also taught with another lead dog... either or make good dogs, the combination of both make great dogs
jmo
A " lead dog " cant teach a dog to hunt... all it can do is help the other dog figure out exaclty what its looking for and what to do when it finds it.... the rest is up to the dog... all the hunt, drive, bottom, etc. cant be taught... the dog has to have it in them... it doesnt matter how good of a lead dog you have, if the other dog doesnt have the " want to " .....
The dog may go out a mile with your "lead dog" but that doesnt make it a long range dog... its what the dog does on its own that shows what it really has....
I have a pup now that will go with long range dogs however far they go, but on her own is only hunting out to around 300 yards away...
but she consistently finds her own hogs and stays busy in the woods.... she may not have " it " yet, buts shes got alittle....
