snizle06 202 Posted January 28, 2011 Author Report Share Posted January 28, 2011 not talking about using them smashed up. just saying alot of dogs that get regular work will start to pace their foxes and there catch rate will go way down. did you ever say to yourself after a bad miss how did he miss it. i think alot off them dont want it regularly. as for to much work spewing a dog i dont believe this if hes bred right and entered correctly and treated right he should never spew.
