It's come to people hunting anything to score a win, at any cost. Mean dogs come from people who don't care about other peoples dogs or their own. A lot of folks have good hounds that are mean and other than admitting their dog is mean they'd rather turn their dog loose to show off their coon treeing ability in stead of admitting they're mean. I've dealt with mean dogs and handlers my whole life, in competition and with pleasure hunters. It all starts with people who don't want to change their style by weeding out the mean dogs. There are plenty of good hounds out there that aren't mean. Until the people who own and hunt mean dogs changes, we will continue to see this problem.
DENILE of the fact that your dog is mean is what I'ved experienced over the years. Some of my best friends have had dogs that they kept and pleasure hunted until the dog died and they never admitted that their dog was very aggressive. Occasionally two different ones would come to go pleasure hunting not knowing that the other was coming and the next morning both would call and state that the other had an aggressive dog because they never had any trouble hunting with just my dogs.
There are bloodlines that i'ved seen consistently produce it for over 50 years that I know of.
Dogs that posture when they meet a strange dog should be harshly corrected.
Dogs that are possessive of the dog box, air or water and not willing to share with other dogs should be culled when young as you are just going to make your problem someone elses.
I've observed that the amount of dogs that will jump another dog while on track is happens more often than most think.
