  1. a lot depends on the land you hunt / type of hunting you do, the bigger dog will sight stuff better on uneven or rough ground being taller the smaller lighter dog should turn better be better around hedges & brash. personally i think 23" tts give or take an inch is a happy medium for a rabbit dog to be able to lamp ferret & mooch about.ATB Pritch
  2. most people do this as a hobby therefore it should be fun & relaxing,now while iagree you should always try to improve yourself & your stock but enjoy it.it ain't all about numbers or havin the best dog, only one man can have the best dog the rest of us just have to get on with it & make the best of it we can
  3. probably the best post i've ever seen on this site, everything nowadays is turning into the xfactor life is becoming a compatition'everyone's got to have the best,the latest of everything. few are satisfied with what they've got.i'm not saying you shouldn't try to improve but it shouldn't be the be all & end all, just take a minute & enjoy what you've got.ATB Pritch
