a good nosed dog with the brains to use it and figure out thier movements could follow any game. Its the difference between chess players and checker players
x2...I test the pups for brains at a young age...a dog that cuts and slashes or drifts on a track and knows how to line out a track quickly is a dog with brains...it is genetics that makes the dog this way...it is not taught...
I had a very good mtn cur that could find a hog pretty quick and it could take him 5 minutes to line out a feeding track and in those five minutes he would open...At that time I also had a mtn cur pup that was a natural and smart and he was the smartest dog I ever raised. he could line out a track at least twice as fast as the 2 year old...sometimes he would be bayed by time the other dog lined out the track...
a hound I can not tolerate is one that takes and old track and runs it for a few hours before heating up the track...and he is bawling on the track every step of the way...
