I don't think you can train them to "hunt" at a farther range than is genetically predisposed. I do think they may " run" with a longer range dog if hunted with one......but put that dog back by himself or with other short range dogs and they will turn right back into short range dogs.

I also think that a genetically bred long range dog can be  "drawn back" at TIMES by short range dogs....especially at a young age.
