One could also say that a “real” LEO shouldn’t need a Malinois or German Shepard too………Or you could say that its the real ones that DO have one……..Same with tracking dogs………Having one in addition to MY skills is what makes me a “real” hunter in my mind as you call it……Without one you're just another guy who thinks his pride is better than a dog's nose…..I mean, by all means… lay your gun down too if you like……I think I’ll keep both of them on my hip though
