Yip, tdog, we do a cross between a foxhound and a kind of greyhound so we get best of both worlds, fast warm nosed hounds and we use them to stop the pigs! They are responsible for 60% of our kills. We also use pressure dogs to pressurise the pigs to turn and fight in conjunction with the chasers that i spoke of! They are normally a kind of bluetick cross pointer or a bluetick cross dogo . The pressure dogs and the chasers make up 75% of our pack! They work very nicely together with our running catchdogs. We usually have between 2 and 4 cold nosed hounds wich are crosses between blueticks and grand blues! We are trying some walker hounds to see if we can speed up our cold nosed ability but im not sure if they will be able to track a day or two day old trail?
You will be lucky to even find a cold nosed fast walker...fast yes but not cold nosed...the competition hunters can not win with a cold nosed dog so over time it has been the hot nosed dogs that do the winning more often than not so winners get bred to produce more winners which is why many walkers are hot nosed today...
