Hi......if you want an HPR with all the character that brings, take a look at Slovaks, if you haven't already.
You've already had one HPR so have a good idea of all the pit falls.....mines a 7 year old hooligan when the mood takes him,but he's absolutely dynamite tracking (its what he loves) but would never make a peg dog in a million years !!!
He's also quite a big lad at 30"to the shoulder, but the bitches in his litter are all much smaller (more Lab sized) and are generally a little bit less driven and hard edged as the dogs.
I'm obviously biased but if you want any breed advice, pm me and id be happy to help if i can.
Regards, Rob.
