This Dog Won’t Hunt (video)

This Dog Won’t Hunt (video)

He’s a Basset Hound. They’re supposed to be great hunters.

Robbie Brown has a Basset Hound named Elvis whose main skill is sleeping. He needs a little help to get in touch with his hound dog roots. So Robbie takes him to the Fun Field Trial in Carlisle, Pennsylvania where dogs are trained to chase rabbits.

Watch and see what Elvis does.

Instead of the humans getting the message, they have to 'change' the dog....

Colleen, Not all dogs are bred to be hunters or protectors, or herders or show dogs. A dog is whatever the dog wants to be, so don't be so judgmental on them because some of them are way more intelligent then any of us.

On the other hand...very, VERY cute dog, and a great video.

this dosen't mean anything. "yayayayay a vegan dog, take that humans and what you think of nature"

"huraah this dog must be an educated old soul, who knows more than stupid humans"

I don't think non primates can have that level of thinking.

the dog won't do what he was bred to do.

people are possibly breeding differnt lines, he could be defective?

sure "you can't fight instinct" but some don't have the drive.

and "boohoo they killed with dogs"
what do you people think dogs were made for?
they are protectors, they are hunters, they are herding animals

why does everyone think every animal was domesticated "just for a snuggle buddy"?
