IMO I dont think there is a "natural" coon, bear, cat, hog, or gray fox strain of dog. You need to expose the dog to what you want it to hunt, and break them off less desired game. I want my dog to hunt anything other than ungalets and possums, so I can go hunt Bear and Gray Fox in CA with R. Oller and N. Seward, Coon in IA with D. Minten, Bobcat in WI with D. McDonough or Hogs with my friends in the south. Now different strains of Leopards are bred to soot those different people and the conditions they hunt in. Mr. Ollers bear and gray fox dogs are bred to hunt bear and gray fox, and D. McDonough and D. Mintens dogs are bred to hunt coon and cats. Who knows there might be guys in GA and FL that breed Leopards that are broke on every thing expet deer. I do belive you can take one strain of Leopards from one part of the country and use it to hunt in another part of the country. It only took 6 nights for a dog that had never smelled a coon let alone seen a coon, and only been hunted on cats, run track to tree by himself. I bet I could take the same dog and go bear hunting and in two or three races, go from what are we doing boss to being right there with the rest of the pack under a tree. Some might disagree with me but as long as I see game in a tree or bayed on the ground its been a good day be it coon, cat, bear, fox or hog as long as its not something its been broke off of.
