Post by: Machias on September 16, 2010, 02:03:37 PM: Well I tell you what, everyone I talk to about this breed just gushes over them as family dogs, more so than alot of the other breeds I researched. They don't hunt as far as the DDs and other pointers, not under foot though, but not nearly as far ranging (for me that was another plus). Really smart and great family pets. What is funny is I've been to Montana Mule Days and last weekend went to Hell's Canyon Mule Days down in Enterprise, OR and I've seen 5 of these dogs as pets/hunting companions at these two events alone. Here is a GREAT site to find out more about them and some other versatile dogs. http://www.versatiledogs.com/forum/ (http://www.versatiledogs.com/forum/)

Post by: Machias on September 17, 2010, 07:25:25 AM: Love water, they are a true versatile breed, waterfowl, upland and blood trailing.
