Following Wyoming legalizing blood trailing dogs early this year, I've been wanting to buy a hunting dog and train it for the purpose. Most type of curs seem like they'd be a good breed choice, but I usually hunt cow elk in November and December and would like a dog that is resilient to the cold. I'm afraid curs or coonounds with their slick, short coat would be prone to getting chilled. Anyone have any suggestions for a good trailing dog for cold weather? I've been thinking about an elkhound.
