Mate if I was after a dog to scare tve living daylights out of most things , I’d have a non ped / hard blood / racing type whatever they are called back to a sal grey in a heart beat . Up between where you and me live as dog like that would do very well up in the Moors and the small little fields etc . Or even turn a few on jaunts down on the a1 a few times a year . Fair play would suit most people.
