T-dog
The first half of my life all the country were I lived was about 90% open because the cow kept all the under brush eat out. Even though I wished we still had that way of life, since it's gone it's taught me a few things. 1 is regardless thick coat or not, I don't need a Garmin to tell me if a dog is hustling to find a hog or if they are trying to get to a hog (actually catch up to it and stop it) that's running. A lot of times the first time I hunt with somebody they will ask if my dog's have some kind of mange. Before I answer I ask is it thick where you hunt, then I say no it's from the briars. Key places is over their eyes, down the center of the front legs, ears and some on the tail. A slick haired dog is not as noticeable but it's there if they are doing it.

You just described how my Outlaw dog looks right now. The old coon hunters use to say they wouldn’t buy a dog that had slick healthy ears. They said if it was a real coon dog and was being hunted, those ears were gonna be rough as heck, split, and notched up from briars and coons. I think my circle has had more dogs with eye injuries in the last 5 years than I’ve had the previous 25. I think it’s because of the way they push through brush on track, running it a lot more aggressively and faster.
