They bred anything that would tree anything. But yes foxhounds where the main blood. In the beginning people actually needed a dog to help feed the family. They didn't care if it ran deer possum coon squirrel as long as it produced game.

When I was a kid live stock ran loose (free range) we used the same dogs to round up cows and hogs squirrel hunt coon hunt and if you actually saw a deer you called the same dogs to run it and you didn't come home to you killed it. They also ran loose and if you where a stranger they would tree you.

Dad got a whole litter of bloodhound puppies (9 of them) from Angola prison in Louisiana around 1970. We where trying to jump a deer they got to running good and all of them slammed treed they treed a gray fox dad said that was a good race let's run him again. He threw a wood chunk at the fox trying to make him jump out and killed him graveyard dead. He said I didn't know they where that easy to kill.

That’s awesome how cold of noses did the bloodhounds have? I’m trying to figure out how cold of a tracks a hound can take. I heard on the podcast they run 36 hr old mountain lion tracks out in the desert so I imagine a coon in the swamp stinks more than a cat in the desert. I know not all dogs have a real cold nose and you have to have a special bloodline to get that lucky. But how Many people have or witnessed a hound that will take a 20 hour track? Or even 15?
Thanks

You need to contact bear hunters in Idaho to find you a super cold nosed dog.

The man holding the lead is responsible for the the tracks a hound can handle. dogs have been tested from terrier to blood hound and they can all smell that same.ive had hounds take two week old tracks on snow.it all depends on conditions if the scent is there or not to be able to trail it and put an end to it.hounds from the west and south have more nose other places because of conditions they were trained in and we're developed.bear dogs tend to have less of a developed nose than some alot of the time bears stink and have lots more scent than lion,bobs,coon ect and conditions and animals put scent down different that's most of the difference
