I think my definition and yours are about the same Tom. Problem is, too many folks manipulate terminology to avoid admitting a dog's faults. When I call one a "trailing type dog", it means he/she can move a coon track out of (or through) any terrain or conditions, and correctly locate the tree where its sitting in a timely manner.
But to a dog salesman that doesn't wanna admit faults in what he's peddling, it sounds better to call a dog that spends too much time on the ground a "trailing type dog". Just like when they call a slick treeing idiot a "powerful/explosive treedog". To me, that should mean a dog that puts on a show when he parks, straight up, machine gun mouth, no chewing flipping or fighting. But when someone is trying to unload one, that's usually code for a stiff neck special.
