Trying to decide on a breed of dog.

[Baron Von Crowder]

I actually liked the scrutiny, shows he has passions for his dogs, not just another puppy mill. He's guarantees his dogs for life, in writing, against any diseases. If your dog gets one, full refund or a new pup. If at any time you don't want your dog, he buys it back. If you don't have time to hunt your dog, bring it to him and he'll hunt it for you. And if you buy a pup from him the training is discounted, which on average runs $650 a month. After my Vizsla died of cancer at only 4 years of age, i like that guarantee and knowing i'm getting a good bloodline.

Yeah, hopefully that touchy fealy crap just makes you feel better. We paid an exorbitant amount of money to a breeder for two field trial champion bloodline labs, and ended up with a refund on the female, she got mild hip dysplasia after a couple years, and we then shouldn't breed her, or run her in the field trial circuit. That's SOP for high dollar dogs, but money is money, and a breeder that is refusing to sell to people based on a pop quiz is pretty out there. We worked with several breeders and top trainers, and aside from two, we bought dogs that were 1-2 years old with lots of training.

I hate to think about the amount of money my parents blew on dogs back then. Im sure it was enough to by a nice house.

get a pit bull, your neighbors will loves you, AND you can fight him on the weekends in the hood for extra money. Like the gift that keeps giving

Border Collies can also be entertainingly talkative. Lots of other breeds are great, but personally I don't ever see myself owning a different breed. Give her 30 seconds and she decides she's had enough of being filmed.

I would have written "go fuck yourself, my money is as good as anyone else's" and sent it back with the check.

I have a 1 year old black lab that is kennel trained. free to good home if anyone is looking. Our yard just isn't big enough and he really needs more room to run around. I can literally spit from my back door to the back fence. Will come with the kennel if you want.

What Ratt said, breeder who specializes in hunting dogs. I had to fill out a 78 questionnaire, give references of my vet and guys I've bird hunted with and a phone interview just to be considered for one of these Brittanys. This breeder is also a trainer, find a good trainer who familiar with your breed. Sounds like your uncle has a good bloodline of GSP's. The Ranch i hunt in Hico only uses GSP's for pen raised quail and pheasant hunts. Never had one but seen them work and they're good bird dogs.

German Short Haired Pointer for a bird dog? My uncle has several that he uses to hunt and a few of them are champion dogs. Their prize just passed away at 13 years old. Hud was a National Quail Champ, runner up National Camp at the GSPCA in Kansas and won field trials across several states for years.

i have a lab/austrailian kelpie mix, he's smarter than he should be but an amazing pet. rescued him from some place in Tyler on July 2, then prompty took him floating on the guad, to the dinosaur tracks, a concert in a barn, and 4th of july parade. the lil guy didn't miss a beat and only ever had 1 accident in the house, ever. he knows tons of commands and i've only spent maybe a few hours combined teaching him everything. dude just gets it. i dont even have to put him on a leash when we go outside, he'll find a sunny spot on the driveway and lay there for hours while i tinker in the garage.

Any of them (if trained properly, obviously) make great bird dogs. It helps if they come from a breeder who specializes in hunting dogs, but even if not, all three breeds are highly trainable. The Vizsla my mom got comes from a pointing/hunting line in Illinois. Their neighbor has a GSP he uses to retrieve birds.

We had pointers for quail and labs for retrieving. I kinda miss quail hunting, it was cool to see the dogs working and just be outside.

Jr just got a "scarface razors-edge cocaine diesel gotti escobar" bloodline dachshund.

god bless.

Sorry, I meant to word that as an option for another bird dog.

That's a Hungarian Vizsla, but the GSP, Vizsla, and Weimaraner are all closely related.

I'm partial to Labs. Border Collie's are cool too, I just think they require more attention than I could fairly provide and can be a little more inquisitive and rambunctious than a Lab. Labs are just more my speed. Golden Retrievers are like Labs, but the hair absolutely ridiculous. My dad has no fewer than three GR's in the house at any time and I don't see how they can stand it. You flat out can't keep up with the hair.
