There's probably other choices but NOT in this poll ... I thought this question might make for a good discussion .

good poll, to me the diffrence is do you trial where on bad scenting days the field is even between the other dogs your competing aginst or are you a hunter on bad scenting days the rabbit has the advantage because that is who you are competing aginst.jmo. im a hunter so i would sacrafice speed to have dogs that can get it done on the worst day.

Are talking about cottontail only? Hare? or both? Wouldn't you need a little bit of "1" mixed with "2" to run Hare in some places? Just asking...

I run hare and only hare and have no need for anything close to the #1 choice. I want all of #3 and then some with #2 showing up only when allowed. My choice of style? Gundog. Kurt

i agree with kirconcrete and fulcount. you should never need any of number 1, if you want a rabbit dog.

Sorry guys but there's only 3 choices in the poll . #1 , #2 and #3 ... not a mixture . I'm sure if #4 said A perfect beagle a few of us would have went for it and we do strive for it but I think in the long run we'll fall just a tad bit short . As far as which terrain , rabbit or trial , NKC , AKC , UKC , cotton tail or hare you can use your own imagination and tell us what the difference would be if you'de want .

Thanks for posting and voting ...

Jude, your poll seems a bit skewered to favor choice number three. However, If choice #3 ran with Choice #1, it would NEVER get the front end because you said #1 intends to get the front end at all cost. Therefore, all things being equal, if a person wants the front end and considers 2nd. place to be like "kissing your sister", then I have to go with #1. JMO

I tried to make the post so that everyone including but not limited too - trialer , hunter , pleasure runner , AKC , UKC & NKC all have a choice . My choices are as fair and wide based as I could think to make them . I've seen places and days where #3 would destroy #1 and vise versa . #1 would probably fair well in some NKC LP trials but would also be thrown out in most AKC Midwest trials . #3 and #2 would probably fair better in AKC Midwest and UKC , although it's often depending on the running conditions and terrain you run them in . Also many people wouldn't want to run a hound that runs a 7 or less in speed . There's also days when #2 would look like a million bucks against #1 & #3 and vise versa . Just because a hound can take the front it doesn't mean it can keep it or take the next turn . I do respect your coice of #1 as there is no wrong or right choice it's just a preference to each individual .
