I find it funny how people think about dogs. Growing up my uncles had "treeing hounds". They primarily hunted squirrels during the day and opossum at night because raccoons were supposedly scarce in the day. Well the coonhunters swore that hunting squirrels with coonhounds would ruin a good coon hound. And the foxhunters who ran dogs at night claimed that hunting rabbits with foxhounds would ruin a good fox hound.
I always kind of thought that a good treeing dog would tree anything and a good running dog could "run" anything and a good pointing dog would point anything (preferably flying things).
