I would say there’s a lot of truth to that. Leads me back to my statement if dog could cull handlers, no doubt I would have been culled by a few. Even at 54, I enjoy sitting and gleaning from the real “dog men” that I know, who can recognize the “it” factor and bring it out.
Wow, I didn’t know I could double post and repeat myself, I must have the “it” factor or that was just man made stupid.

The great ones are exciting to watch even as young pups...
I hear some people say; if it ain’t broke don’t fix it...
I also hear some people say; you’ve got to feed them lots of tracks to make a dog...
I never have liked working for people with that “if it ain’t broke” mentality...IMO that saying says it all...
The other one...you have to feed a lot of tracks to make a hunting dog...i totally disagree with this mentality as well...if it is looking like I will need to feed lots of tracks I will cull pretty quick...on average to have good dogs this is how it needs to be done...

Where all these natural......or even man made dogs y'all keep talking about?
Every time I go to a hunt I draw three other common plugs just like mine.

I think the point here Reuben is that even those born naturals keep getting better the more they get hunted. Just like a natural born human athlete "Hones" their inherited abilities as a player. My experience with hounds is the good ones keep getting better with age up to about 5-6 years old. They begin to level off at about 5 and then about 8 you begin to see a slow decline, mostly physical until about 10 then the mental stuff begins to show on many older hounds as well. The really good ones always die to soon!!

I haven’t read all of the replies on this thread but I’ll give my take on natural ability vs man made.
To me natural ability is when you take a young hound to the woods and on their second or third trip to the woods they strike on the leash and none of the old dogs do. You turn loose and the pup runs with the older dogs and trees in front of them.
Natural ability is when you have a two year old dog that you’ve never messed with and the second time you take it to the woods it opens on track and tries to tree some. None of that can be taught no matter how hard you try.
Man made to me is when you have to keep working a dog with caged coon to get it to bark at one or have to keep turning coins loose for it before it ever wants to try and run and tree one.
They are all man made to a certain degree because if WE don’t do our part and give them the ability to use their given talents they will never show what they are capable of doing.
I’ll take one with natural ability over anything any day of the week.

Hobo...you said it exactly how I see it...in the hog hunting world I can sometimes make an exception for a decent dog but as I said earlier it will get replaced... I believe a spot in my yard is too valuable for that space to be taken by a dog that doesn’t meet my standards...

So how many potentials do we work our way through before we find Mrs. or Mr. Natural?
You have to weed through all of the BS people write and find the person that tends to always have the naturals. Don't believe what you read on the internet or in some fancy ad.

I spent a few to many years looking for the "naturals" all the time and came to the conclusion that you'll go through a lot of dogs and some of the ones you'll discard into someone else's hands, end up making decent hounds in the hands of a bit more patient individual.
I'm not going to keep worthless dogs but if I've got hounds I can go to the woods with that produce game and are enjoyable at home as well as in the woods I'll keep them. Some people enjoy turning over hounds all the time in that constant search for a better one. I don't. If the special ones were plentiful they wouldn't be special.

There are naturals that come along that make top shelf coondogs those are very few and far between! Just because one goes to running around barking after the other dogs and treeing on every tree the others do don’t mean it’s a natural. I can dribble and hit a free throw once in a while but it don’t mean I am a natural basketball player.

It takes time to develop a great bloodline line but when it is set you can have top shelf pups in every litter and a high percentage of pups will make good dogs...but one must breed the very best from within the family...
Once we have three or four generations of these dogs that originally came from good dogs then you won’t be a nay sayer...
When a breeder is chasing every bloodline and breeding to it thinking he is improving his dogs and that breeder more than likely will be in the nay sayers group...

Well Yatkintar...the only difference in a great hog dog is the hog dog does not need to be proven as a tree dog...they cast out quick and strike a track as quickly as any coondog would a coon track and drift the track to find the hot end quickly...sometimes in the real thick briars or cut overs...the hogs like the thickest woods to run in and sometimes will get in a 5 or ten acre briar patch that not even a 4 wheeler can go through...and the hog can run in front of the dogs for many hours...anywhere from 4 to 8 hrs or more...smart hogs will run through some shoats and even a herd of cows... hogdogs are like coondogs...there are many hog dogs that I wouldn’t feed just as I am sure there are many coon dogs you wouldn’t feed...
