U know she may have eventually went at ground but just an earth dog isn't enough for me. I spend everyday with them just watching them grow and watching change. Maddie just never had any type of wanting to learn at all. It's a big ask to get a dog that will go out and work solo up an down banks and gulleys as well as drop to ground. If I don't have that the big dogs won't get half the runs they get either. an earth dog just isn't enough for the way I go about in the season they all gotta hold there own an work for each other
