I didnt read all the posts but I will give my two cents... a hound can never have too much track. However a dog can have more track than its weak brain can allow it to handle. Most people think they know what a track dog is until they actually see a track dog...
The vast majority of the big time winners... I'm not just talking ukc either... I mean dogs with 100s of cast wins are track dogs that put coon on the end of everything they strike whether its hot, medium, cold, in Indiana or Georgia. They don't have anymore track than anything. They are just prime examples of what breeders of coondogs (coonDOGS not coonhounds) strive for. These are the dogs that tree coon after coon after coon when everything else is pulling up short or standing on its head.
Also, you can't take the track out of a dog but you can help him along figuring out what to run and what's more then he can handle. It takes time, patience, and knowledge but it can be done... it does require the dog being smart enough to understand what's going on and a handler/trainer that knows when to correct and when to let them work if out.
