Build me a heat tolerant dog

Cutter,

I can assure you that the Garmin is reset each time I turn out. When we stop the truck to unload the dogs, I collar the dogs, then I calibrate the compass, start new hunt, and mark the truck location. There is no travel time included in the 25 miles. There may be an occasional short ride on the Mule, but I would say that accounts for less than a mile or two in a hunt tops. These dogs just stay busy, ~25 miles per hunt ~5-6 mph.

Contest weekend one of these dogs covered 50+ miles in two days of hunting, the other did a little over 45 miles. That weekend was hard on them, but they rested a few days and were ready to do it again.
