Got into a discussion with a buddy today about how people are bent on this forum. So I told him I would start a poll. If you had to choose between Testing/Trialing dogs or hunting dogs, which would you choose?
Amen Keith....and Why am I not surprised you didnt vote :wink:Keith Stroyan said:Thank goodness I don't have to choose.
(Didn't vote.)

hunting dogs are only trained to hunt
if you care nothing about competition, it doesn't matter
for me, the competition dog becomes the finest of hunting dogs
But the question asks if you would hunt or trial. So if you choose to trial it doesn't matter whether your dog is the finest hunting dog because the two of you will NEVER be able to do it.Ed Aycock said:field trial (and hunt test) dogs can hunt too.........
