Both parents are well balanced, clear headed, environmentally stable dogs with excellent hunt and prey drives. They bring their a game to their work, but have very nice off switches when not working and are wonderful family dogs. Both work wel for both food and ball, have fantastic noses, and bond strongly with and want to please the handler. Pups are expected to be medium high to high drive with excellent noses and a strong aptitude for training in both sport and real world work. Sport or working homes will be preferred, but pups may also be matched with the right very active family home.
