Most hunting dogs aren't muscular enought to drag a kill. (eg bloodhound, coonhound.) There are a few that are (eg Irish wolfhound, akita) but it seems like her dad is really focused on this breed for purposes other than dragging kill as well. He doens't want one JUST for dragging kill, he wants one for other purposes as well. It's a good thing that he took into consideration the other aspects of this breed, and isn't just buying it for one sole purpose.
