Im going to go against the grain on this based my own exposure.  I have a 9 year old Catahoula from baypen stock (Camp-A-While Catahoulas).  I know you are thinking short range.  For the 9 years that I have had her, I have has a plot or plots (that were long range).  Hunting with plots and repeated exposure to the woods has extended the range of my cat.  She is not going to go out 800 yds everytime but she will most of the time.

If she was not hunted with plots or any other long range dogs, she would be close range based on her genetic background.  This one example disproves the genetic only theory.  Ive also seen and had plot dogs that would not hunt at all and had no range.  These cull plots had the genetic background and exposure.

So, I don't think any one point of view is right and as soon as you believe things can only be one way, you will see something that disproves your thoughts.
