my old bitch smokey got put to sleep on wedensday the bitch was 14 i bred her myself when i was 12 my mam and dad went mad with me though . she served me well for 10 years and was the best dog i ever owned a unfaultable allrounder that could do anything from rabbits rats deer fox and anything else that you let her at . i let her live out her final 4 years at my grandparents house in front of the fire and she was still picking up rabbits when my granda had her out she is gonna be sorely missed by me and my friends and family so thanks for all my many happy years hunting with you old girl :dr
