I completely agree Oconee breeding is everything if the dog comes from short range dogs its virtually impossible to train that dog to hunt deep.The dogs I select are breed to hunt the way I like and very little situational training is required a good hunting dog is preprogrammed to hunt the way his ancestors hunted.
I totally agree with this as well...a hunting dog is born...we as dog handlers can do the right things at the right time to make them even better...in the wrong hands one can ruin a good dog...
