Thread: Crossing show lines

It is interesting talking to people that use dogs to hunt birds that cross with show lines to slow their dogs down to a sedate pace for Jo average.

I have never agreed with this but does that mean the dog wont hunt well in our conditions ? I invite comments from your experiences either via first hand or what you have heard from others with credibility - I say that because you can talk to any show breeder and their dogs are this and that birdy raingy and what ever all of course while "never being seen"
