You have to love that spotted little cousin of the lion for what he can do in the way of making a TRAIL type hound really buckle down and work. The skill it takes to TRAIL one of those little fellows can help those lion hounds out when the chips are down on a cold lion track. That being said they are really two different styles of hunting, how cold of bobcat track does a person want to start? I know some of the tracks I have been on in snow and good trailing conditions of spring will really make one think about breaking his dogs off them. Now I will not get into a debate with the hard core bobcat hunter over whether or not a bobcat dog will out perform a hard core lion hound at their preferred game as they are very different styles of hunting and the demands on the hounds are different. Can a bobcat dog make a lion hound or can a bobcat dog catch a lion because there is a difference. I catch bobcat with my lion hounds does that make them bobcat dogs?
