This friendly dog is a hunting dog in the Suurveld. It is used mainly to hunt porcupines and hares. It has a hard life, being under command (not a pet), eating scraps and shivering in the cold. But while in younger years it couldn't wait for the hunt, I am told it has now lost its get-up-and-go. The first time I visited my wife's family, this dog had caught a large hare -- large enough to feed four.
