It probably has to do with my style of hunting and how I like my dogs to hunt, but when asked your question what immediately comes to mind is dropping a dog on the ground and taking off behind or beside it on a four wheeler.  

My hunting group all prefers rangy or extremely busy type dogs and I have witnessed good dogs of this caliber that were bought as such and ruined by doing what I describe.

EXTREMELY important is not doing this with pups.  If you desire dogs that stay close or that work up ahead 50 or so yards as you ease along, then go ahead.  I personally do NOT want my dogs learning to follow or come to the sound of my wheeler.  I can be very anal especially with young dogs about riding the wheeler with dogs on the ground.

Along those same lines, I also believe you can ruin a good prospect pup by handling it too much.  Once again just my opinion.
