The initial price that you pay for a dog is the least of your expenses.
If you can't afford a more expensive dog, how are you going to be able to afford
the numerous other costs that go along with dog ownership.
My advice is to wait untill you can afford to do it right.

Afford to do it right? Your definition of right may not be someone elses. I've seen several mixed breed dogs become excellent hunting dogs, it just takes the right training and patience, just like a pure bred dog needs training and patience.
