it can take years to find what we like in a hunting dog...the best thing is get you a gyp from a great line and breed her to a great dog and keep most of the pups...
I been trying to get me a good pack going since about 2009 and just now am feeling ok about what I have...three decent dogs and 7 pups on the ground right now that I am a little excited about...they are 3 days old today and I just bobbed their tails so that aught to make them better performers...
