If draghunting would inevitably replace foxhunting, then is it not true that hounds could simply convert to this form of hunting?

Foxhounds are like any special breed of dog. They are bred instinctively to hunt their quarry, but require training and experience to hone them into a disciplined fashion. To suggest that an animal, which is bred to follow a particular scent, can practically over-night be converted to hunt another one is a massive miscalculation. The idea that these animals bred for several hundred years to hunt fox would then apparently ignore foxes that they would undoubtedly encounter during a day’s hunting is unrealistic.
