BORDERSCOT 3,816 Posted October 5, 2013 Report Share Posted October 5, 2013 For me it must have good feet....the breed/breeding matters not one bit if it's feet are poor....good coat, temperament, speed, brains, balls don't matter one bit if its feet are crap.... Nothing is more important than good feet....for longevity and productivity..... Saw one lad on here a while back claim that he had some of the best dogs in the country...apart from his fat bull xs feet which were like flippers and would have been better placed on a seal.... My opinion.... What's your must have in a running dog.... 2 Quote Link to post

Giro 2,648 Posted October 5, 2013 Report Share Posted October 5, 2013 Not one aattribute defines a good runner... It's a combination or a magical mix of not just physical but mental minerals... I like a good strike on a dog 1 Quote Link to post

BORDERSCOT 3,816 Posted October 5, 2013 Author Report Share Posted October 5, 2013 But if its got great feet and no speed or balls its crap lol Slab I've had dogs that weren't very fast nor the bravest with good feet.....but they made serviceable lurchers and filled a freezer..... They can have all the speed and balls in the world but if they have bad feet...especially with bags of speed it ain't gonna do the job week in week out.... Quote Link to post
