colliexgreyhound 119 Posted January 11 Author Report Share Posted January 11 7 no quite the opposite he’s still up front leading the way. Only a small pack of 5-10 hounds between us. He’s back tracking at a mark as well if he’s not caught up quickly 2 hours ago, Gypsydog94 said: How old is it? Does it struggle to keep up when there right? Quote Link to post
milliken 810 Posted January 21 Report Share Posted January 21 Honestly once they start it it doesn’t usually get any better seen decent packs get ruined because the huntsman wouldn’t do the right thing and it’s always the hound with the best noise 2 Quote Link to post

Dont worry bout it the bassets i go with do it too. Quote Link to post

Fox under no pressure then and hounds scattered everywhere in the wrong direction Quote Link to post

Then they should be pts a back tracking hound causes mayhem in a hunt during a hunt you'll not be able to read the hunt it's a fault and a bad one that'll ruin every young dog you bring out with it you wouldn't want to bred out of it and it's something that'll not get better I'd get rid before he wrecks the rest of your hounds one place for a hound like that Quote Link to post
