My last golden retriever I hunted with was absolutely amazing. Problem was, if I hit a rabbit but didn’t stop it, that dog would chase it down, catch it, and bury it unless I caught up quickly enough. I usually got the rabbit, but God only knows how many I didn’t find.
That's a Golden. They are stupid like a fox. We had a Golden as a family dog. Man do I love that breed. Bassets and Beagles are very human liking dogs too. Don't know about Bassets but Beagles make lousy house dogs in my experience. Hard to house break. They are after all hounds. Mike
