Sire to my bitch Swift & Don,Tomo's Venus etc never caught a single rabbit or anything come to that during the day and he lived until he was 14 lol..i lived & breathed lamping as did the dog,does it make him a bad dog because i never worked him in the day? Anyone & everyone who seen the dog go ALL said the dog was a machine & was as good as they had seen at his job,i have Saluki types now and trust me they wouldn't of caught jack shit infront of him day or night and he had ten times atleast more wind than my Saluki types.. FACT!!! Just saying like ? 4 Quote Link to post
