I think it's mostly bred in... The conditioning just improves on what's already there. I'd rather know that it's bred into em from generations of it than to have to try and train/condition them to do so. My Bit dog was hanging with Fred at 8 months, and now she'll go out on her own if the tracks are hot enough and she's little over year and a half now. I think it does help a whole lot to have the dog running with a veteran if you want them to have the sticky none stop go get em that most of us want. Hell the Fred x Soka pups put down almost 10 miles month or so back when they got into a group, and they are just over a year. JMO
