Reuben, I do understand what your saying about the dog and possibly that's what it is. But my opinion is a dog that's suppose to be a well started strike dog should take a track when u put them in good sign, and this dog won't even do that. I believe I got screwed.
I have seen some mt. curs that are jam up dogs and with the new owner it took a long while to get them going...I am talking about not hunting at all...you could put them on a hot track and no go...but they came around...
