i see what your sayin but a CD is only going to get hurt or killed every time you send him in theres a 50/50 that he wont come back and a dog that is worth 1000$ should be in a show not in the woods. whats to say he will come back frome his first hunt
you are right that is a chance we all take hell i've got a dog i'm going to use now Maijor and he is priceless to me but he seems to love it and like they say "sometimes our passion is our curse" and i hear what your saying 1000 is high for a front line soldier . i'll say this i'll draw up a paper and have it noterized that in two hunts if you don't like him i'll refund the money . if this dog latches on he is hanging on until he dies are you break him . it is a high price but it's my reply to the post if it helps great if it doesn't that's ok too .
