i hope your future brings horses back into your life, i wouldent know what to do with all the spare time i would have if i didn't have the horses.

having a dog with you hunting, to me is not about need. it is about the entire expirence being out there.
i dont use the dog to haze the deer, i use them for stalking and if i make a bad shot(yes that happens even to me

) the dog will save the day if proberly trained, i have been training hunting dogs for over 20 years now.

i have been hunting with malamutes a few times now and i am impressed with there temper and attitude
and the will to work with you.
