RE: go and get'em or try like hell to call'em back

BBD,

I don't think it is far-fetched at all. I am not lauging either so it is not a joke to me. If someone doesn't give me my dog back, which is the same thing as taking it, then they might as...

RE: dog for doves/squirrel/rabbits/coons/and tracking?

If you want just a plain gamey dog, get a mountain cur. But think about just choosing one game to pursue. If you want to hunt rabbits, get a beagle. If you want to flush birds, forget all the choices...

Even if you cloned a dog, it wouldn't be the same dog in any way except common genetics, which does not mean the dogs would act the same or respond to stimuli in the same way.
