E-Pica has no hunting background, but the passion and aptitude for hunting work (the 'will to work') is genetically deeply embedded due to the bloodlines of mother Mila-Monica-Babs v. Zoterbek and father Thor-Feranti-the Gloucester (who is a working field dog). His sisters perform very well during hunting training.
