I agree with Bob. It's bout hunting your dog hard and knowing it right down to the flea babies on it. Start naming them suckers and you've done pretty good

It helps though, case in point with yourself Bob. You have a great line of Cur dogs. You've hunted them for so long and seen about everything you could imagine when it comes to this line, that you automatically know somethings wrong just based off past experiences from hunting with the parents, grand parents, and great grand parents of the dog. It makes life easier when you come to know what to expect.
