What I'm talking about is a dog can have all the tools but there is some little thing that they do that keeps them from being a big winner. You raise the pup, get it started, single it out and it is looking like it is going to make just what you want then you find it has a quirk that keeps it from even being able to win a cast.
I had an English dog years ago that had a decent nose, was fast on track, excellent in water, and was a true 90% accurate stay put tree dog. You hunt the dog with dogs it knew it looked like a million bucks. You take it with strange dogs he wouldn't hardly even go hunting. I worked on the dog and got him to at least get out of your light and tree a coon but if he would have treed 4 coons instead of 2 if he was giving his all. If something backed him he would sometimes scoot a tree or two over and tree. I'm not saying he would have been a world champion if he didn't do that but he would have certainly won his fair share of major event.
