Harddigging hit it on the head in one.........depends what type of person you are, dog or bitch will do the job, but you need to know yourself first and what you gel with, i've had both, and run a dog now, which is my first dog i add, he's spot on but does nothing i haven't seen bitches do too, at least with a bitch you dont have to stop every 200 yards for it to cock its leg up anything on offer!!!!!!!!
