It would be easy to solidify a trait in a dog by line breeding. The problem I have is to solidify the major traits in what I want in a bobcat dog, to be able to take a 8 to 10 hour cold track and move it with heads up, be able to drive a track without over running and running to far off the track[15 feet], to be trainable a{ smart and taking direction from me], to not bark off track and to be able to locate a tree and stay under pressure from other dogs. Don's point is a very good one very few people are true bobcat hunters. Most hunt other game or do not have the experience to train a bobcat dog. Dewey
