grafter-man 43 Posted May 25, 2011 Report Share Posted May 25, 2011 Would like to know what everyone feels is the best finding line, or family terriers that displayed the most hunt drive. Quote Link to post
Guest busterdog Posted May 25, 2011 Report Share Posted May 25, 2011 I wouldn't have thought many would of had enough experience with enough different lines of dogs to give a good and honest answer and if they have then i'de consider them a messer that didn't know a good dog when he saw one and wouldn't want his opinion lol....
