"Big dogs and thick brush myth"...I have been told by more than a few dog men that the best dogs to work all day and every day are less than fifty pounds...they eat less, they can maneuver better in the thick brush and are generally more agile in tight quarters and hold up better in the heat...I agree with the logic...I personally like dogs a certain size and anything past that I would cull...now I am more lenient on account I am not focused on purifying and improving on a bloodline...my main interest is in having and retaining decent dogs at this late in the game...cost too much money to do it how I bred my dogs at one time...
I like a certain size dog...I have said it many times on here...I use football players as the example for the dogs I try to breed for or acquire...
They would be the middle linebacker of the football team...not the biggest but big...not the strongest but strong...not the fastest but fast...when they hit you...you know you've been hit...

Training dogs is not about quantity, it's more about timing, the right situations, and proper guidance...After that it's up to the dog...
A hunting dog is born not made...
