I love them even if they do drive you nuts at times .Mine nearly drived me to dispair but once we got on the level with one another life was easier. Theres times when you want them to do something and they look at you with a look that says why the hell do you want me to do that . Not sure if its just mine but i find them a very sensitive animal and very loyal . Great amount of hunting drive and stamina in them . All i can say is all breeds are different and have there pros and cons but you get out of them what you put in to them
