To me there are very few that accurately fit that description. There was a bluetick in this country back in the 90s that was the only one I ever saw that I would really describe that way. If you hunted him out of a boat, he'd run off and leave other dogs on those hot tracks off the bank, and regularly catch those coons on the ground. On frosty winter nights he'd drift and peck and cover long stretches working feed tracks out along hardwood ridges, and eventually produce that coon balled up somewhere. Sometimes he'd be skipping through the country and fall treed on a legitimate layup that other decent dogs couldn't even smell. I'm not sure he was even full-bloooded. He was registered, but was all blue and had birddog course hair, shortish ears and a short snout. Who knows really, but he was exceptional in alot of departments and really impacted my thoughts on how dogs should operate from then to now...
