JD It said dogs. Make no mistake I have hunted lots of breeds. I asked about a Northern breed section but not a lot of us in the US. This is the most hunted dog for all game in Europe and Russia. History lesson: this is the first hunting breed of dog it has been hunting with man for thousands of years. Tried and true or became a fur coat or a pair of gloves. No they are not belly on the tree barking 100 barks a minute it is considered a fault on a trial for barking excessively, jumping, or putting feet on the tree because it spooks the game. To get a one score on squirrel in Norway the dog must tree for an hour.
I wasn't trying to steal your thread I like them you have the right of choice to not like them. Many an old timer has said they liked to throw Finish spitz (direct relative of Laika) in there to make their dog have more tree. Many a man has mentioned some top lines that have some in it. Cur and feist have not adopted DNA testing to show what their dog has in it, so who knows your favorite line could have some spitz, elkhound, or laika in it with some curl in its tail but it is docked.
The house dog comment if I was the offending type could be said about other breeds. I grew up with hounds and beagles as far as I was concerned, as a young man, the rest were ill bred as the dictionary definition says, but that was ignorant thinking on my own part. I never worry about the look of the dog but the hunt and game finding ability. These dogs fit the bill and I apologize you felt I took your thread by mentioning a breed you do not feel hunts or fits this thread.
