Hi I am a Newbie to the art of Lurching and Gazehounds.
I own a dog and a bitch breed and used for what I call Versatile hunting. The dogs are expected to search, point, retrieve, track and recover game whether it has feathers or fur. I don't use my dogs for dispatching game such as fox, skunks, badgers, racoons, etc. From what I have experienced these dogs have been breed to work closely and want to please the hunter, although my dog is very independent and quite content to "Self Hunt" if I am not in possion of a firearm when we hit the fields, marshes or forests.
Now to my questio
