Who said short range means they quit a track. Range is hunting distance, bottom is finishing! Jimmy said hunt short to him was out to 1000 yds that is long to many. I consider my dogs short to medium they tend to make circles from 300--900 hunting. But also have lots of bottom. Meaning they finish track, or stay hooked up.
you are spot in there... I didn't say that short range dogs would quit a track... I read on here that some like their dogs to come off hogs/tracks after 1000-1500 yards if they haven't got it stopped yet. You could look at that as training I guess, or less bottom. I just don't prefer my dogs to quit after that far is all. Like you said, I wants dogs to finish, or damn near die trying.
