To me a finished dog is one that goes out and gets it done consistantly. Not a dog that finds one here and there or a me too dog. I know my "finished" dog knows what hes looking for and burns up the woods til he finds it or gets in the truck with a "hey stupid there aint nothin here" look on his face. But a thousand bucks wont get him out of my kennels. And the gyp I had 3500 didnt get her either.

I would rather buy a young dog with a ton of potential than a so called decent finished dog.
A star hunting dog is born not made.
