Trailing hounds may be expected to cut somewhat and should not be given a penalty in follow as long as those cuts result in closing in on the lure. Certain circumstances may come up which result in the hound losing the lure. One example would be the relative height of the vegetation. If a hound loses sight of the lure without a good reason, though, the penalty would be lessened if that hound tries to find the lure again and does so within a short amount of time. Follow can be worth up to 15 points.
Endurance is defined as a lasting quality.
Endurance may be difficult to judge if the course is short or the weather cool. A dog that lacks endurance will show a change in his running style as the course progresses. A lure-wise dog may slow up near the end because he knows the 'bunny' stops before it reaches the machine. Endurance is worth up to 20 points. Agility is worth up to 25 points of the hound's score.
