WHo is the best?

Its hard as hell to buy a really good dog from proven lines unless you want to spend a couple grand but you might get lucky. Its even harder to buy good brood dogs that are proven lines of working dogs most won't let good producing dogs go like that and then most people don't have the patiences to see it threw from breeding them to pups. to young dogs, to started dogs, to half finished and then on to finished. A lot of people think they do but when all is said and done they don't. Also what you run them young pups with is going to make a big impact on how they turn out as older dogs keep that in mind. I don't know were you are from are who you know my advise is to go with as many people as you can go with watch the dogs see the dogs and make friends with people . I will be the first to tell you being a good friend to people will most likely get you a better dog from proven lines and probably given to you vs what you might buy many times over . Stay away from the commercial crap and go with the Ole Red Neck that hunts his dogs four five times a week are when he can, he might not live in a great big house drive a fancy pickup but you will sure nuff know what he is about when you see and hunt with his dogs.
