I will agree with the last 2 poster. Even though I raise a top notch breed of dog for pure blood tracking. If I was a bird hunter and wanted a tracking dog I would have a DD. I have trained with the SEHC of the VDD for several years now. I am very impressed with what these dogs can do. I have watched them dog rabbit drags in the morning, goto pointing quail that afternoon, then off to the pond to work ducks and cool off and end the day doing a 12 hr old track. Great dog for someone willing to put n the training.
