Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Hunter's Campfire Dog breeding - Yes or No?

I assume you live on flat ground? Or maybe gentle rolling hills?

I used to have and breed Chesapeake Bay Retrievers. I know of no dog tougher than a CBR... CBRs routinely grab and drown large deer around here in the salt mash (Virginia Bay area).

I had CBRs in Georgia that would kill a doe almost every Saturday morning and drag it to me to butcher for them.

But CBRs would not stand a chance in my WV terrain... far to steep... pure rock... mountain laurel everywhere... small and nimble is the path forward there.
