How do those bird dogs bay for you, the 2 GSPs ive had hunted great but were to gritty for me personally, not sure if thats their normal or just the 2 i had??
Mine will all bay anything over 100 pounds the majority of the time. Sometimes they'll get froggy and catch a good one that either don't have much fight in him or they get in a tight spot and its catch or be caught lol. They get gritty on a runner but will back up and bay once they get him stopped. That is the style I was after though. I don't have to worry about running a 50 pound pig for miles and I don't have to worry about having a good size meat hog chewed up before I get there with the bulldog.
That is how I like mine to, im not much for dogs that are cut up all the time but dont want to be chasing little runners all night either. GSP's defiantly have hunt
