cold nose generally indicates good health. Warm nose could mean a fever .

Cold nosed is usually code for slow. But a dog with the ability to work out a cold track in a timely matter is really something to see. They're also scarce as hen's teeth.
Give me one that skips through the country ambushing hot coons any day. Theres so many coons anymore that a dog pecking around for a half hour on a track is just wasting my time and looking foolish to me. I'd rather walk a mile to a tree with a coon than listen to one trail all night 200 yards away.
My favorite quote on track dogs is "Don't tell me where he was, just show me where he is!"

I like one to trail 15 to 20 min.going one way then tree and have it. Call it cold nose or slow trailing, it don't matter to me I just like it that way. Lol

Everyone is different and has their own personality and it shows in their preferences or what they like/dislike. I personally don't mind listening to a hound work a track. I don't like one that runs through the woods looking for a hot track until they ambush a coon. Where I live they will usually be a couple of miles through the ridges and out of hearing. I like a hound that takes the first track they come to and puts a coon at the end of it, preferably close by. You will make a lot more den trees with a cold nosed dog but that doesn't bother me since I am not a hide hunter.

I don't care for a Hot Nosed dog they seem to be more Tree happy than a Colder nosed dogs does , I like a Balanced hound that will drift if he needs to but not to the point he's silent. If you are a true hounds man, you have to appreciate a hounds ability take a cold trail and move it to a tree accordingly jmop

Well Stanley,this looks like another fine mess you've gotten us into
I'm not buying in to hot and cold nosed stuff. There is not much difference in our coonhounds noses than the bloodhound that tracked the girl down across states through someone's vehicle. Truth is you can set a cage down in your yard with a coon in it. Come back 3 days later after coon was there and if conditions are right your dog can smell it. The coonhound nose is about 10 million times stronger than ours. We have breed them where it takes more scent to excite them because you sure don't want one running tracks days old or trying. I can tell you knowone talks much about locating ability. Some dogs have a knack for locating the coons location fast and accurately when they smell it. That's what I like.

Locating ability. That's what this whole coon hunting thing is all about.

Summer hunters and winter hunters
Hot nose dog around here looks good in summer. They suck in winter slick tree in these oak trees in winter. I want one just like Richard said takes his tracks as they come to them don’t pass one up to go mile for a Pop up coon. I just soon hunt a cur dog. Than a hot nosed hound. 🤪🤪
