A good hide dog is silent on track, sneaks up on the coon with lots of brains, and almost catches a coon on the ground before it can get up a tree. Thus seeing that coon climb rather than trusting it's nose makes it much more accurate.
A good comp dog will strike as soon as it gets to a track, take it the right way on the first attempt, be lightening quick to locate on the wind while coming into the tree, and have the brains to use their good nose accurately. A good comp dog is (SUPPOSED) to be scratched when it fails to open on the ground before it starts barking treed on a continuous basis. But most handlers of these type dogs are much like the politicians in washington, they will stretch the definition of silent many different directions before admitting their dog is silent.
Which dog do you prefer?????
