Howdy Dave,you have probably answered this one a few times but what kind of mouth does chief have and whats his hunting style. Thanks Scot
Chief has a good mouth. On track Chief has a real nice bawl on a cold or medium tracks . Chief, will chop on hot tracks. I feel this is because he runs a hot track with his head up, taking the scent out of the air. on a colder track he will have his nose to the ground. On tree he is a hard chop mouth tree dog, Sounds like a loud mouth walker dog on tree. Chief hunts on the run, Breaks hard, covers a lot of ground fast, but will cover a woods thoroughly. Chief will use the wind and get you some layups. When you are hunting smaller patches, if he opens and takes the track out too a field he will go quite until he hits the timber again or a tree. When I first got him, you pretty much had to pull him off a tree some were. With the work of the shocker and tone button, I have a good handle on him. I can call him in anytime. It hasn't hurt his hunting style at all. Chief will still hunt as hard, and go as deep as he needs to go too get treeded The only difference is when I want to go home we go home. Chief is far from perfect, but is a real nice hound. The fact that he is still her, and that he will stay in my kennel till the end of his life says a lot.
