Reminds me of a time my mate was running his lab in a open trial, I was helping out game carrying and one of the guns shot a woodcock, anyway judge says to him ok send ur dog, off he goes , straight out …hits the fall hunts for a while and disappeared into some bracken tail in the air waggin away…. come back …..nothing.. he tried him again hits the area .. nothing… judge called him up and asked for the dog on the other side to come and try… me mate walks over to me whilst waiting and says well he won’t find that pal… i says why’s that … he said cos that basterds just ate it 
low and behold it didn’t get picked and the trial went on 

Due to the breed I'm pretty positive they wouldn't be able to live off venison too ****ed up for there own good!
