It’s not jacking though is it, it’s just become a c**t. Agreed that may well but be a reason to not breed the dog, but it ain’t got much to do with a lack of heart, dogs just a knob. Do agree if it decides to not take its quarry but takes other stuff then aye that lack of heart. 
 

The whole deer thing is a bit more complicated and I agree there is a lot more difference between a dog that pulls deer and one that pushes. That’s why I stuck to talking foxes as I think that’s more cut and dry ?

I've got a heartless knob here lol

Yeah, the Skipper dogs did yes. That dogs mark on the game can't be denied. 

Still, the bloodline was moulded by the game it participates in.

Don't know what you're on about now pal? 

Gone from bulldogs to bull crosses? ?

He didn't match them no but I doubt he was as naive as some think, he certainly knew what clicked.

Let's remember he lived out in the States and undoubtedly met many good dogmen.

And just to clarify, he wasn't the only one peddling bulldogs over here.

I personally just like their attitude, and how they are to have about as dogs. Different strokes for different folks but I find I just get on with bull blooded dogs.

Back to the original question, or related anyway, I often think ground is fairly important. Ie a dog might suit someone and catch a lot, but quite possibly wouldn’t on your ground, so the graft and numbers don’t make the dog a suitable stud (for example) for you. I sometimes go places that have smaller fields and fences and it changes things a lot for some quarry. Other things, big open prairies are an advantage.

If a line/type of dog all had similar traits and stamp, I’d breed off a litter mate that wasn’t proven. For example, I had a very well bred coursing dog, bred from some of the best dogs at the time. All the pups looked the same, just like the parents etc. Now the dog I had, lost his nuts due to cancer. If I had a bitch and I was really wanting to use him as stud, but now I can’t, I would use his litter brother that went to a pet home and was nether worked. I would take the risk , as this pet dog would have the same DNA as my top coursing dog.
