this is exactly what i know to be true everyone has their likes and dislikes and ill bet anything I could take a dog that comes from a line that is rough and short range and make them long range and loose baying. everyones dogs will work the way you train them to work and will follow the way your pack works!
Just a couple of days ago I posted " analyzing your dogs in the pack" thread but it should of been "EVALUATING" your dogs in the pack... both words mean about the same...doggininhogs statement tends to fit along with what I have said...you can take a me too dog and run him in a good pack and this dog looks good... take him by himself and he is a cull...I have seen so called good packs of dogs...but when the lead dog is gone the pack looks like crap when hunting...
I am not knocking the pack dogs because different dogs bring a different skill to the pack...just saying evaluate your dogs on individual performance and breed accordingly...
