UNFIT 0 Posted June 18, 2009 Author Report Share Posted June 18, 2009 your right there, looks have no bearing at all on the working ability of a dog and that's a fact. as for your other comments, another c**t who think hes better than every f****r else. Well iv got news for you boyo YOUR NOT. There's people on here who know more about dogs than you can dream of and there is also people who have done a lot for working dog and hunting in general. Why come on here if that's what you think of it. Quote Link to post
sandymere 8,263 Posted June 18, 2009 Report Share Posted June 18, 2009 Depends on what you call look? if you mean pretty then that will have no bearing on working ability but if you mean well made then that may well have an effect. If a dog is well made it will have a better chance of moving well, better biomechanics, and so will do so more efficiently. If it is an efficient runner it will waste less energy and so have more for the run. A badly made dog may work well but it will be inspite of it's poor biomechanics not because of them. So inconlusion a hundred, working bred, well made dogs agaisnt a 100 not so well made will give a higher percentage of success for the well made group hence pick a well made pup if poss.
