Most dogs I've seen that will have bottom, you can see it from a young age... They steadily get better as they age and get in more races..
A dog with not much bottom may learn to stick alittle farther running with other dogs, but you get them on their own and they won't run as far...
May not be true for all dogs, but that's what I've seen...
I agree...I like to see them with plenty of bottom between 10 months and peaking out at 14-16 months...
but like it was mentioned earlier...conditioning has a lot to do with it...we have to use common sense...does the pup or dog not have bottom or is it lack of conditioning, high temperature and humidity, overweight, or all of the above???
a me too dog might have plenty of bottom as long as the strike dog has plenty of bottom...but hunting the me too dog alone and one will never know if that dog or pup has any bottom...
