Your dog’s quirk?
My soon to be 4yo bloodhound Murphy, bred and refined for hundreds of years to be some of the best tracking & hunting breeds the world has ever seen. Couldn’t care less about it, instead he’s convinced himself he’s a cow dog! (He’s not half bad at it either)- Austinw8

20-22” 6.5 Creedmoore
