I believe the hunt has to be bred in them. Recently the AKC has announced that the black lab was the most popular bred dog on in 2005
on the AKC register. I would be doing my research regardless of the breed you choose. I would want the pup to be what I'm looking for. As most know I like the Irish and there is alot of them that are no good to me and
researching had to be done. So be carefull picking what you want.
