That dog won't hunt is an American idiom that means something is not going to work or succeed. It is based on the metaphor of a hound that is too lazy or untrained to chase the prey. It is a folksy and dismissive phrase that can also imply that an idea or accusation is false. It is often associated with the South and Texas and is said to be an old hunting expression.
