Traits and consistancies in exceptional dogs?

Post by bigboarstopper »

Mabye this has been done before but Just out of curiosity, in terms of exceptionally good hunting dogs have you ever noticed any physical, mental, behavioral anomalies in an exeptional hunting dog or line of exceptional hunting dogs??

Ive seen litters of cur pups for instance where only the pups who were natural bobtails came out to be exceptionally good dogs where the pups born with tails couldnt earn their feed. Im not saying the bobtail itself had anything to do with the pups success but speculate that whatever genetic positives that came with those dogs the bobtail followed giving a physical indication of the dogs inheritance of the good hunting gene.

Curious if anybody else has seen any anomalies in exceptional dogs worth making an interesting conversation. Like to especially hear from dwalton or mike leonard.

Funny you said that. I was going to use the rear leg dew claw
as my other example. Anybody have anything more pronounced or excessively different?
