My TWC is hot nosed. He's been impressive hunting. Too bad I'm the one with issues running through the woods at night. The guys I train with threaten to put a GPS collar on me.
Just gave the hound his first bite of a bratwurst. I know his origins are not German...but geez...its still in his food bowl!
TWC have an interesting history. The sire most lines were developed from was stolen off a hunt in mid Tennessee. In the mid 1850's. Taken to Kentucky and the rest is history. I believed they bred him to over 100 bitches the first year or so. The offspring were carefully monitored to exhibit the unique hunting style of the original sire.
