What's your opinion

Listen to what Judge is saying find a line of dogs that hunt how you would like a dog hunt and try to get a few pups even if they are a few hundred dollars your chances of getting the results you're after are greatly improved. Hunt is bred into a dog and cannot be taught IMO. Buying cheap dogs from so and so then expecting them to impress you is foolish and at the end of the day when you cull through ten $50 dogs that come from who knows what you could have raised a couple of dogs off a proven line that do what they were bred to do.I went through exactly what you are going through and let me tell you when you get a naturaly talented hunting dog there's a big difference and that's a bred trait not a taught behavior. Not saying that there aren't culls in every line but your chances of getting what you're after are much greater than just shooting in dar.Good luck bud....
