JW, I think I know what kennel you're talking about.  The problem is, the majority of the american kennels do not hunt their dogs, and the functionality of the breed disappears pretty quick.  They may look good and will probably catch, but the true "hunting dog" qualities are severely diluted.

Des, I'm right there with you on the culling... cull hard.  It's the only way to create better dogs.
