There was an old blue dog I was gonna buy. The old farmer who owned him said he had a REAL cold nose. Took it out for a trial and it just ran a trail through the woods then to the edge of a field and jumped up in the air. It kept running, zig-zagged across the field, jumped up in the air again and went deep in the woods on the other side. I asked the old farmer what all the jumping was about. He said there used to be a fence around that field.

your so funny LOL

Awww, I couldn't resist that one

Had a old B/T, that had a very cold nose, one time he trailed a coon for 8 hrs and when he treed there was just a skeleton of a coon in the tree.

That's a good one.

aww thanks guys those were some good ones... I needed a good laugh!!

I had to spend the night on the mountain a while back with two of my Plotts and two of by blueticks. I noticed the blue dogs had the coldest nose as they kept touching me with them as I tried to sleep LOL. I think each respective breed has certain strains within it's breed that are known for cold noses. I prefer Blueticks for overall cold nosed ability but I have certainly seen good cold nosed track movers in each breed. It really is a matter of preference, then finding a line of cold nosed dogs within your prefered breed. You should especially look for cold nosed dogs who can move a track.

looks like the old MSG is right Blueticks all the way. Its kind of like the chain of command Blueticks on top the rest are subordinants LOL.

bluetick in my opinion have the best noses but all mine anways have good noses and know how to use them and can smoke a hot track and get treed as fast as a little hot nose walker dog. i have a female who jim is huntin right now and she can make run an old track like shes runnin a hot track.
