I've hunted dogs outa south,east,an west texas an louisiana an jus cause its a good dog in that part of the country it doesn't mean its gona be as good where you hunt I think an jus my 2cents that the type of envoirment or land you hunt effects the way a dog hunts an does things
X110 not talking smack but I know of a few dogs that wouldn't cut it here where we hunt, but made good dogs down south.. Flatter ground and way more open country
X3 I've picked up dogs from north ms and brought them down to south la and would not hunter our terrain for sqwat I geuss they didn't like the marsh but then I've bought dogs from around the same place and took the guy hunting and he said he wanted to buy him back cause he never seen the dog hunt like that I told him no of coarse but I always hunt with a dog before I buy it's a must and I like a trail on them too jmo
