Nobody can just answer a question!

Gotta put in your own stipulations

Straight up answer given the options...I would prefer the 2nd option. Short range, will quit a race after a while. Still catches hogs on a regular basis. Fine by me.
Actually think I miss spoke...short range dog was 1st option.
Still get to see the dogs work...actually...probably get to SEE them work MORE (caught hog percentage). Nothing against the 2nd option...my Jasper pup will probably end up like that...just sayin...
