I had a pair Chessies when I was station in SW Georgia.
Minimal training and they would bring home 70# deer... eventually gave up the full butcher job for a basic hide off quarter (I kept part 5 for myself)... they were fine with that exchange rate.
Chessies are plenty tough... and I know the breed.
Aussies are plenty nimble, but lean on kill.
Just figured I would ask on the KBD... we own plenty of mountain land in WV... not worried about "neighbors being too close"... just if the breed is smart and tough enough to deal with vermin.
Thanks for the info guys.
