i would like to kno if you can find a finshed dog thats not going to be a 1000$ a true finshed dog im new and all i have is two 8 month old pups and would like to find a good dog to train thim with but it seems like i have to spend that kind of money to find a good dog are keep wasting my money on bs and people telling me that this dog will hunt and it dont.... im not rich and would love to have just one good dog to hunt thim with and not pay 1000$..... so how do i kno if people really have a good dog pay the money and find out?
Let's say you take these 8 month old pups and start hunting them with a "finished" dog. Pretty soon they start striking ahead of the "finished" dog. You feed these dogs and hunt these dogs for the next 3-4 years until they become "finished". One of them turns into a top notch dog. He is your idea of a perfect hog dog. Would you sell this dog for less than a $1000 after you have spent all this time and money on this dog? I use quotations around the word "finished" because I don't think a dog is finished until it is dead, but that is a whole other thread.
