DWK I have seen a pleasant change in thoughts especially on the members of this forum, look at the pictures of most folks dogs here and you will notice some dang well kept animals, I think the folks here for the most part are NOT just hunters anymore but DOG MEN/WOMEN who UNDERSTAND how to take good care of their animals and that’s AWESOME.
It only makes sense that a well rested, well feed athlete dog will and can work much better than one who isn’t/hasn’t he can go longer and have the energy, endurance and stamina to stay with it and when times comes he will have enough fuel in his tank to handle the rest of his business.
On the MMA analogy I believe that the welter/light heavy weights are the ELITE athletes, light weights are fun to watch BUT they have (for the most part) no POWER they have the speed but little power, in dogs I think that correlates to your terrier types (do not get me wrong I LOVE these dogs, but not always effective for hog hunting), the heavy weights even though exciting to watch because they have the power LOTS OF IT, but not big enough tanks or speed to hang for 5 rnds, BIG DOGS even though impressive just cannot keep up most of the time ---I know I am talking general terms here so it’s for the most part. This can be a fun topic
, LOL.
