Red nose, I don't know anything, any types of red ticks. But from what I've heard it would be worth learning. I can read Google and learn about them but would rather learn from people that hunt them.
Dang good looking dog judge.
Red nose can you get your hands on a young dog like your taking about.
No probably not, I mean if I really wanted one I could prob figure out a way, but those old dry ground lines are tough to get if your not hunting with them or somebody they know. For hogs I would look into some good English coon dog lines. I know they have some out there that are pretty darn fast and still with good noses. Good luck and let us know if you end up finding anything.
