My experience is.........they gotta have it in em, in order to get it out.
This line of plotts have been bred for generations to hunt hog and bear. seen several yr old pups strike and run a track, first time out, without any help or training.
The man I buy my plotts from lets his pups run loose, turned loose on a bear that ran about 4 mI. And 4 month old pup was at the tree, treeing. And one of the pups I referred to striking and running track straight off the chain are littermates.
Had some that all I done was put in a pen couple times, and first time ,out struck out of the box, turned loose, and had a sow bayed with no help.
I also had one that I drug around forever, and the night I went lookin for him to cull him, low and behold the switch flipped, and ended up being probly one of the best coondogs I ever owned. BUT, he had it in him to start with, just took longer to get it out.
Dont know much about, training or genetics, all i know is what ive seen. I have waisted countless hrs on dogs that were just dogs, and made coondogs dogs out of some but, when I started buying these line bred dogs out of proven dogs I found that there wasn't near the "training". Just took them and turn them loose, with a little guidance .
