I think it's more the personality of the dog than anything, of course some breeds have more drive than others and it all depends upon what you want them to do. Locating potential sets is different than finding coyotes caught with a drag. My neighbor has a small terrior who is great at locating urine post but wouldn't work very good for chasing down a coyote. The right dog for the right job.
Common sense is a not a vegetable that does well in everyone's garden.

I don't know if I would want a trapline dog. But, once I had a coon get away with one of my traps. I went home and got my American Water Spaniel I had at the time. She tracked the coon to a tree. I was able to shoot him out of the tree. Got the coon and my trap.
The difference between animals and humans is that animals would never let the dumbest ones lead the pack.

I had a Miniature sheltie. Looked exactly like a little Lassie so wenamedher lass. She loved going on the Trapline and treed more squirrels than any other dog around.
God please keep they 19 fallen UBB miners out of trouble up there.
