This breed is ideal for people looking for a large and active dog for hunting, hiking, and other recreational activities. These dogs are smart and wonderful companions, but they need to be constantly engaged in physical activity so as not to damage your property.
#1 Their nickname—The Gray Ghost—comes in part from their color and, more importantly, from their hunting style, which has been described as stealthy and catlike.

#2 They also have an annoying tendency to try to disguise their scent, which means that they’ll roll in any stinky thing they can find.
