i can under stand your predicament but wey up honestly what she lacks as all dogs lack something,if you want an out and out lamp dog maybe stick we out and out running dogs as is yours,saluki,whippet, grey.saluki mix maybe a better option,if your looking for amore versatile dog more abpt at retrieving general mooching go for collie blood,i exspect mine to do everything for me retrieve shot game off water and from dence cover day or night ferret lamp you name it i coulnt get a very sighthoundy dog to do it for me,its the old adage horses for courses,hope i havent confused althe best.
