Just saw your post KY. I used dales for years on hog and bears but never used hounds with them. They got great noses. Most telling is when one of the posters crossed one of my dogs with a sight hound. A bear hunter got one of the pups. The sight hound gave the dale the speed to stay well in front of the hounds on bears and the nose he got from the dale was good enough to keep him well in front. By nature I would say they are a winding dog, but, it is pretty easy to breed them into more of a tracking machine.
