Haha, something like that Serious Hunter. Answering your question: my bitch is 7, so it's the last bell if we want to mate her. She wasn't used for hunting, but we went for hunting trainings with her (tracking, work on wild boar on a yard, work in a den). She proved to have a strong instinct and "work" well. If we will be mating her and we have a choice, we want best working dog we can find, fresh blood which is hard to find in continental Europe nowdays. We want pups to be used by hunters with success.
