The Science of Stop

Ruben i didn't think I was gonna enjoy your post and just dang near didn't read it but I did. Not bad, I actually enjoyed it and appreciate it! I do have a correction for you though about the finder holders. The true finder holder guys breed there dogs to scent find first and foremost. Sight is important and so is sound but the scent is first to those guys and their finder holders.
   I basically have two types of dogs on my yard. Finder holders and stags, though mine aren't really coyote type stags except 1. My stags have a large influence of wolfhound, I guess that would mean they are long dogs but but I call them stags. The term stag has a little wiggle room but not as much as lurcher or especially rcd. Many many many types of rcd's and categories and sub categories if you really wanted to break things down. Many types of finder holder bred dogs too. It's really not fare at all to say a finder holder is best in this situation and not so well in another. Just depends on the breeding and personal preference. Same goes for lurchers, rcd's, and even stags and long dogs. These are all loose terms that have wiggle room. A stag for example isn't a true breed of dog but rather a type. You have roo stags, coyote stags and pig stags (I made the last up). My stags have lot of wolfhound blood in them making them bigger, harder, more willing to 1 out a pig and more willing to use their nose to scent pigs etc.
   Really not far to judge a style or breed of dog off what 1 person has. Rcd types and their various categories and sub categories are as diverse as the cur dog and hound worlds. Also dogs adapt to hunting styles of their owners and how one guy hunts half the litter might not be how another guy hunts and the dogs will get used to and adapt or spoiled to certain way and not be as willing to work another way as the other guys half the liter. I see this in rcd's anyway.
   I enjoyed your post, sorry for the long description of rcd's, I kinda got side tracked from what I was really gonna say, now this post is soooo long it lost a lot of people's attention lol
