pattstaff 157 Posted February 20, 2009 Report Share Posted February 20, 2009 which one would float your boat a dog that gives it all regardless? or would you teach the dog to get its hold and kill its choosen qarry some of the best dogs in the country have there name from the dog haveing the knack,i know lads from all over do this method mand especially the southerners favorite the knack I respect and prefer a game dog every time.I had a dog and he was a pain in the arse in many ways to own and work but I had the utmost respect for him because this dog could and did take shit loads of punishment from his stuff and soaked it all up and just drove the stuff into the ground.He made life real hard for himself because he liked to kill a fox by the back end and they would just munch him all the while and he never once blinked.Yes I like to see a fox killed quickly and cleanly and a dog who prefers the chest is a delight to watch but I think that there is some dogs with big reputations because they can kill so many a night single handed but never get bitten much because they have the "Knack".It not possible to gauge a dogs true gameness until you witness him with the odds stacked against him and he perseveres and dose his job.
