Somewhereyournot 1,117 Posted February 27, 2016 Report Share Posted February 27, 2016 Running dog should be tested on running ability. And hares certainly are the ultimate test on running ability. Foxes test grit and gameness, still have to be able to run but nothing like a dog that catches deer n hare, just my opinion. 1 Quote Link to post
