Turn them loose with a good broke dog. Also go to a training pen.

If you don't have dogs to start them with I have heard you can walk them on a track until they show interest then cut them loose

I got one from a guy named Josh Clark in Ohio. They are vizsla x beagle. The guy swears by them and now so do I. They are fast enough to catch them and game enough to stretch them out on their own. I never did a thing to train them. They just seemed to know what they were about. In my part of Ohio the fields are broken so a sighthound Is useless. Speed aggression and a hot nose is what works here.

Down Here in the south. running American Fox hounds. I start mine in a breaking pen at around 6 months of age and when they get the idea of what they are doing i run them as a group weekly and they do it on there own really. if i have a tough group that does not want to hunt i will turn them out on a yote i see in an open area and they pretty much get the motivation to get after it or its time to cull.
