Bollocks!
a dog that wont commit himself to catching his quarry 100% is lacking heart, it wont just show in his not committing himself at ditch's ,hedges it will show in all other aspects of his work ,i have had the misforture to have owned half hearted mutts in the past and no matter how fast or smart the dog was , a dog lacking drive or heart just dont appeal to me or my hunting,
when i get a pup i commit myself 100% to feeding ,managing,training ,whatever it takes to bringing that pup to his maximun potential , and i expect the same in return, thats how i see this hunting game and
