loosing or quitting ?

a good dog shouldn't lose the track but I have seen good dogs get out ran by a hog. The reason... the dogs are out of shape and over heat and the hogs stick to the real thick stuff where the dogs can't keep up.

another reason is the dogs are bayed deep where we can not get to them and eventually they give it up and come in...

The dog has to have a real good reason for quitting the track or for sure it is taken off the breeding list and more than likely is going to the replacement list as soon as another pup steps up.

There has to be a good reason why the dog quit and no excuses...no rose colored glasses here...

The dogs quitting sometimes has to do with the hunting style of the handler.
