He's got a great nose, and his prey drive is coming along nicely. The nose probably better than the prey drive at the moment, because he seems most enthusiastic about using his nose to find something to eat. Be it actual food, or some wild animal's crap, lol. But he's put some good chases on some wild animals as well, he's answered some questions I had about how fast a dog needs to be to run down a deer, the answer is slower than him. The few deer he has chased had no chance of losing him, not running over open fields or through thick cover. They'd eventually just give up and I've had to go grab him to let them escape, so yeah I've done a little "catch and release" deer hunting with him. He's very fast. I wish he was in the condition of your girl, he'd be even faster. I walk him twice a day and it will involve swimming and chasing animals and rough playing with another dog, but you can just tell he could handle way way way more exercise, he's just a spring loaded bundle of energy, I need to up the regiment for sure. Running him behind the truck in the country or something. Seeing your dog is good motivation, just perfect conditioning. I know bones' potential in that department is huge too. Definitely the best natural athlete I have had, which is saying a bit.
