Houndsmen that raise pups or have pups when you let them run will thay smell up quail and find them?

This is not a pure hound so might not answer your question.

I have a hound mix 1/2 Walker hound 1/2 lab and he will flush quail while we are out but I don't hunt quail so don't encourage it nor do I discaurage it because its fun seeing those birds explode out of the bushes. He will point for a few secounds too, so it might have been possible to train him for birds instead of trailing and treeing.
