agree with all the posts above, I like to look for a dog who works slow on track not one who runs crazy for 10 minutes and expands all their energy before they start the track. Need a dog with brains that can work out the tough trails and realize when they are on the wrong deer and backtrack to pick up the line. Want one with bottom and natural baying genetics that will bay and hold a buck when its goons alive (I personally don't like my dogs to try and over pressure a live wounded deer). Something to think about as you begin looking.
Good post Jerry.
