When I was a kid in the 60's we didn't have pure bred dogs but every dog we had earned its keep because if it wanted to eat it had to catch game. They weren't specialty dogs but they were trained in the way of the ranch and farm life. I could herd the cows with then and chase the neighbors hogs out the fields and blood trail wounded deer for us. and kill coons an possums that tried to get in the chicken coop at night etc. etc.. Killed tons of rats in the barn with them that were eating our grain.
