Pooch
My dachshund knows and understands how to hunt both upland and waterfowl. I am so dismayed I did not breed my dog as his line is nearing an end. Everyone who has had this line brags about the hunting accomplishments of these dogs. As brief bio is I could only buy him if my intention was to hunt him. He grew up training with my labs and thinks he is one. A dynamic water entry and will retrieve a wounded duck or goose on water. Has an incredible understanding of where a bird went down in the field. Knows and understands when we are pheasant or chukar hunting. Routes out as many upland birds as the big dogs do in the right cover and conditions. But I am getting carried away and taking this thread way off topic
It's your dog and your life do with them as it pleases you. My comment was more about myself who would take my silly old Scots Terrier hunting with me. The Scotty couldn't hunt but was good company during the long drive. But the little bugger would get lost in the high weeds immediately and I would spend an inordinate amount of time hunting for him when he was usually only 10 feet away chasing a rat of just being a dog.
