What type of animal are you wanting to catch? When you say running dog do you mean non treeing?

Wouldn't have a pack[of say 4 dogs]without at least 1 dog that's a 1/4 to 1/2 running dog in there.I prefer Trigg's over the others--good conformation,tough feet,recover from races faster,and most of all have track savy on catching game.Treeing can be an issue,but good track dogs know when the track ends-henceforth usually a locator,even though they might not say much at the tree,some do some don't.

Well I just bought my first true cat dog from dewey waldon. Very excited!!! Just through visiting with him I have learned a little about running dogs. I know he likes , I believe, the july hound? so out of curiosity I am wanting to know what other people like and don't like. So the more posts the better.
Thank you
Kyle
