I know they were breed to some kind of scent hound , but how good of a nose does a lacy have?
Are they cold nosed ?
I haven't been able to test their nose long enough to say .
What are your thoughts and experiences
I am running a blue lacy and a 1/2 lacy 1/2 cat for blood tracking.

On blood 24 hours isint much if they know what they are doing and conditions are right havent seen it but have heard of 36 or so hours. My inexperienced lacy took a 6 hour trail last year no problem.

Mine have done 18 hour mock trails, but I was wanting to add hound to my pack later down the road.
Should I ?
Or do I already have enough nose ??

Don't add a hound, been there done that. The ones I worked seemed too hard headed to not stay on the blood or wounded deer as take the first hot track they crossed. Now, I have been working a Bavarian mountain hound an have been impressed.

As long as a mutt from the pound can smell trace amounts of cocaine on $100 bills and a cockerspaniel can sniff out cancer cells in a human body, then I'll continue to say, no matter what kind of dog your running, Nose isn't the problem, what's in the brain to do with the scent is. You don't have to add hound, just find what you like and cull thru them ruthlessly.

x2...it is not the nose it is the brain...you need a dog that won't give up the track... |

You need nose to smell, brains to associate the different scents and keep him going, drive to keep him on the track and not give up, genetics is very important, puts all these together. Dog that knows how to bay loose and hold a wounded deer is a lot better than one that gets rough and makes buck break.
