They were not registered but papers dont make them hunt any better.
That is true, but I think most people miss the point of "papers"...It's not that the dog is registered, but that it has a traceable pedigree. The pedigree is what is important, not the actual registration by a kennel club. A pedigree is a very useful tool when it comes to breeding, a pedigree tells you what a dog should be. And by being able to trace back to dogs that were 4, 6, 8, 10 generations back and get information regarding their work ethic, traits, etc. it increases your chances of producing dogs that have the same desireable traits. If utilized appropriately, it can be a key element in
consistently producing quality working dogs.
