i've gotten dogs from david. good dogs. i use mine on cattle. my sugar/hornet gyp is as good as they come. she'll go DEEP to find cattle.
NOT a short range dog. super smart at reading bad situations. not real catchy on cattle, but reads cattle well enough to know when teeth are needed. my chata/ colorado gyp started easy as pie, at 4 and a half months, super catchy/rough, would as soon catch as bay, at 6 months i use her like a finished dog (she is definatly not finished but you can rely on her better than most broke dogs i've been around). both have a ton of bottom and were flighty as hell as pups (which i like). the sugar/hornet gyp and my male randy/coyote were a little tricky to start, i'd say 90% percent of dog people would not have got them started, but once started they never looked back. these are dogs where patience and sense definitely pays off. none of mine have been real short range dogs. the male has a little bit of bottom problems since he heat stroked as a yearling but is still a way above averge cow dog.
