Might be nice if we knew the breed as well. I would think the hpr group might last longer or would they? What have you got mate?

I have an 11 year old GWP who is still going strong. I only got her last year but she has seen 100's maybe 1000's of deer shot. Set a prickett this morning in heavy timber at 150 yards, one of several that wouldnt have made it into my cold room before I had her. Will never stalk deer without a dog again, adds a new dimension to the sport.
