why not hounds ????????

I have a similar problem, my buddy doesn't care for mine and he's only half walker. When I load him in the truck and tell the wife I'm going for a short hunt, she just glares at me and says "not if your taking Clyde, I'll see u in the morning!" He has far more nose and a good bit more bottom, and I get a kick out hearing him pushing a mile when other dogs still huntin couple yards in front of the truck. Don't get me wrong I have some of them too and enjoy both very much.....some folks take it way too serious.....I just enjoy getting out and loading dogs that simply can't wait. IMO You need to look for some buddies that appreciate a respectable dog regardless of race, color, creed.
