Had one growing up, best hunting dog ever. Tried to kill everything including some dumb people. No one will be getting in your house if you have one from that line. Like stated above, they like to kill stuff: cats, coons, other dogs, deer. They used to need good training, which we as kids and my absent father never provided, but boy did we shoot allot of stuff. The breed is supposed to be much nicer now than 40 years ago. My wife doesn't know it, but we are getting one in a couple of years when I am fully retired, har har.
