What do you expect out of your dogs?

heck i don't know hunt is a given they gotta have that . i breed for nose and a non suicidel amount of grit . but THE MOST IMPORTANT ASPECT AFTER THAT IS HANDLE . a trait wich i see little of these days . if i don't have a good handle on a dog he is useless to me . and that one attribute is a must have when working dogs on new small areas under the landowners scrutiny . there are so many [ hairy cairy ] dogs being turned loose these days , it pleases me to see and meet some-one that has takin the time to be sure they have a handle on their pack before they are dumped out to run amuck . like i said hunt is a given never had much trouble with that ,
