I dont want far rangin dogs I walk.
I walk hunt 90% of the time too an my dog better not worry about how far i walk it better get ahead an go bay a hog i'll worry about the walk
Well there you go. Don't take this as offensive because I'm not trying to be, but it takes a whole different dog...bred and hunted a whole different way to be able to drop him/her from the tailgate and that dog go make a 1/2 to a mile loop ALONE-MEANING WITHOUT YOU in cold sign while you wait and listen than it does a dog that just eases along with you in the woods while your walking. Just personal preference, but if the latter type of dog is what a person desires, you better keep your hands off 'em when they're pups.
I used to think this way until i saw some dang good dogs work that would come to their name being called even if thay were running a hog. they would go to the end of the earth for a hog. All i can say is if you tell me your dog cant have a good handle because it wont hunt? i will stick to my dogs that have a handle.
