If you are tracking wounded game, just about every dog on the planet has the ability to blood trail it. I have known guys that have used terriers and labs for blood trailing game. From my experience, being large doesn't make a hound automatically have a cold nose. Mostly when hearing that term I define it as a good excuse for a flaw the hound has. Find yourself a smart hound and that is 90% of what will finish a track for you.
