i kind of am....
I've run them all... crosses and purebreds and for the longest time i would have agreed with you...
The old man was on the rabbit board down south and he had lurchers, spaniels, terriers and mixes of all of these... and yes, for what you are doing what you run is the best, as with the old man.
But for what I do I've never seen a mutt yet that could match a top spaniel doing what it is supposed to do.
