Doc,
What are you asking?
I have Judged many field trials before and have owned lots of dogs of different breeds.
Just because i have my favorites does not mean that that i think that one type of dogcan not compete. However, they will not win against each other.No
Pinting Lab will everwin in an all-age stake or shooting dog trial or anyhorse back competion. nor would any setter or pointer ever win in a retrieving trial.
You talk about a Versatile Dog but, the only things in the real world that are vesatile only do half a job
Like your Car Half Truck Half Suv
About Half of nothing as far as i can see
