I don't hunt hounds but I had a similar situation to yours that I was unable to remedy. I hunt silent curs and they're all pretty hot nosed dogs that stop hogs within a mile but I had an old fl cur bitch that had a far colder nose than any of my other dogs or any of my buddies dogs as well she would take a track for miles to the end every time damn near. The problem was she was a small dog and extremely gritty not big enough to hold a good hog by herself and refused to back up and bay.Every night was spent chasing her for hours and hours when I'd finally catch her she'd be beat up from finding and fighting with hogs all by herself. I had to sell her cause I walk hunt mostly but the fellow I sold her to hunts big leases with good roads and he cast her drives to her and dumps other dogs and calls all the time to say how much he loves her and how many hogs he catches with her.My point is that if that a super long range cold nosed dog that's gritty can be just as frustrating.
