This is where it gets tough, i have had Lipper dogs that could flat run a track, take them away from most dogs and yet were very excitable tree dogs?
I also want to add that just because a dog won't tree, does not mean they are a true track dog
You actually have to hunt them against good track dogs to see where they fall.
I am not advertising just making a statement, but we have a male dog here that when he was young loved to run some doe's i have living in my woods, he could make them sweat and loved it. Once started on coon he just quit them and has caught several coon in the woods, not uncommon to find a coon up something he did not want to climb,lol he's not perfect but hard to beat to the tree. He also winds consistently when on leash going in woods to turn loose.
When he was young i had him on a 20 ft cable and would watch him stand on his back legs to smell scents in the air, you could tell they were coming by him at different levels.
