Kenny I think you are right on the money with this answer with one minor correction. Now I may be wrong about this, but here is my one critique.
It is my understanding that; if in a four dog cast, Lets say dogs A-B-C-D. Dogs A-B-& C are struck, dogs A&B are treed and scored. lets say coming off A&B's tree we find dog C is now declared treed and dog D has not yet opened. Handlers A&B have the option to either turn loose or hang on to their hounds even though, Dog D has not yet opened, thus not really (trailing). So using the term (trailing) indicates a dog must be opening before a handler can utilize this option, thus making that term a little misleading.
It is my understanding that dog D is only required to be competing for a strike and not actually trailing for a handler to utilize his option to turn back loose.
I understand this is only a minor adjustment to your statement but it could come into play with some of the tight mouth hounds of today.
Have a GREAT Day guys!!! Good Hunting to you all!
