T bob,, I'd have to agree with you in that all dogs are supposed to be able to smell the same but like you said its up to what the individual dogs brain wants to do with the smell. We trained a handful of narcotics dogs back inthe day of a few different breeds and you'd be surprised at what they can smell if motivated.

I say area don't matter they have curs that will go as far and run tracks as cold as any hound it is all about what you want to feed I like curs but most of all I like hog dogs!!!!
You got one? Because ive sure never seen a cur dog take a day old track like a Blood hound. hell ive never seen a cur take a 8 hr track If easttexasoutlaw gets invited to see the cold nose cur dog I want invited too. I aint seen one in many, many years. |

Training dogs is not about quantity, it's more about timing, the right situations, and proper guidance...After that it's up to the dog...
A hunting dog is born not made...

Twelve years ago I had closed mouth good curs like yourself; my hunting partners thought the same ways yours do to (against open mouth dogs). Ten years I introduced a plott hound to my pack in order to find colder tracks. I never looked back and today I have all plotts and one cur and I found some new hunting partners. For me, getting the "right" hound was the best thing that happened to me. If you are thinking the hounds may open your curs I would say not likely. If anything, a hound may push your cur dogs and make them better.
I'm in the same boat as you and I agree w you 100% only difference is I'm still in the transition period but almost there lol Sent from my DROID RAZR HD using Tapatalk 2 |

If they are out there someone please find me one i will pay whatever it cost to have a hound nose on a cur. I personally do not believe a cur nose will ever come close to the coldest nosed hounds jmo

It's all about having the right dog! Wether that's an open plott hound or a silent cur dog, I've been lucky enough to be brought into the sport with a breed of cur dogs that have a cold nose and will go run a track until they find what's at the other end! But I will not leave out the fact that we have two plotts In the pack. In the experience that I've had the plotts being open did not effect us catching a hog or not. If the dogs you run have the noses and the drive you will be fine wether it opens up at the trails start or at the end of it! You will catch hogs ether way with the right dogs. It's all about drive.

I agree. I believe you will have those anomilies and some cur that you hunted with down the line might have a super cold nose. But as far as consistently breeding, hounds have genetically better noses. And can REPRODUCE those cold noses consistently
