Some styles are a lot of worse than others, but like you said a great ear dog has and will whip most any dogs if they get to the spot. Like my ol buddy use to say, kill the head and the body will fall. Or let him run dry chasing while you riding him out take him to that deep water and drown him. Face dogs are career ending dogs who can ruin one quick. Face or Nose dogs are one of my favorites and boy is it beneficial if your dogs don't have a lot of mouth to begin with, but I seen some Jaw specialists and man that's one rough style because once they wear that jaw muscle out and your hound can't bite no more you in a world of trouble.
Sorry for rambling but again great post and explanation Jack

Thank you and nice post yourself.

Earl Tudor said it as well as anyone, "I will take a good ear dog and whip most of these so-called 'fast-track' dogs ..."

Still, like anything else, there will always be exceptions to every rule, but the ODDS will always favor the dog that controls the head,
Moreover, if you reach for any other spot on the dog, you leave your own head open to be nailed first, hence the odds will always favor the head dog.
Doesn't mean some dog won't "beat" the odds ... but what it does mean is that, more often than not, you will bring home the money with a good head dog over any other style dog.
