Hounds
Then they changed hunt rules to handicap the silent ambush hound. However, there were certain strains of cold to medium open mouth tracking hounds that could fly on track that even silent dogs couldn't beat to trees. Alot just won't in the parts of country where there were 12 coons in 150 yards on the ground on edge of hedgerow between 2 cornfields. In other words,the died out and are gone, gone, gone. Sure, some tried to revive it later with papered pedigrees but the open mouth tracking speed was lost forever for most part or they were real similar to the hotnosed ambush dogs, Silent. Most today have never truly seen a cold tracking hound that can blister a track, even back in 70's and I know 80's they were few and far between.The standouts,that is, but when you saw one, you remembered it. I linebred Arkansas River Rattle blooded hounds back then and the still so called hot legends of today could not run with them. Till this day I don't know where all that speed come from. Tippetts Car Bomber, I guess. Lol.
