Re: Houndsmen south west bc
get a hound and hunt it...hound if it is worth its grub will run a hot track from about 8-12 months without any "training". You hunt a hound not train it. It is all in the genes. Build on that. Training for handling and call back are useful but not necessarily vital..the dogs are bred this way. Any training is primarily for your sake in dealing with the dogs rather then how they hunt and run a track....
