its all in the individual dog ....some just smell better than others ....some have it in the breeding to trail colder sign or scents ....doesn't mean the next dog from a lesser scent focused breed can't smell it .....
a cur is a mix bred dog .... thats what is so great about em .... my old blackie dog could take a 10 hour or older track and put a hog on the end of it ....i seen him do it plenty of times ....
we call it cold nosed .......but i'd say its simply more scent focused ....
X2. A well bred hog dog should wind a long ways when the conditions are right. Should be able to take an older track but can circle and find the hot end of a track very quickly.
If you see fresh hog sign, a good hog dog should be able to find a hog within 15 or 20 minutes even if the hog has traveled several miles away from all the sign. If it means crossing in some walker or plott to do it then so be it.
