i would prefer to stick to a tested breed - suitable for the job in hand - weather it be marking up , rabbiting , lamping ect. im in no way saying it * wouldnt work* , ive can honestly say i havent tried lol , but for me , tested breeds will do .
I think he bought the dog before wanting to hunt lol. He would just like to make a use of it I think. And it makes the whole thing so much easier
take it out with you and if the gamekeeper comes by or the farmer , you have protection and not have to leg it , there you go , a use , better still decide what sort of hunting you want to
