It's interesting when you look at hunting dogs in my country.

People hunting deer will favour breeds like the German Shorthaired Pointer or Vizsla for their particular hunting characteristics suitable for hunting deer in thick bush, while pig hunters will tend to use mongrels who have been tested in the field and excel at one of the roles needed in a pig hunting pack - finders, bailers and holders.

I'm not sure which approach is better in working dogs, the aristocracy or the meritocracy.
