To each man his own I guess, to me certification isnt such a big deal, b/c I know what kinds of pups these lines throw, and I know that all of the dogs in these lines are good for hips, eyes, and everything else. It's not about making big bucks with me, I own one dog and one dog only, too many people out there have 20-30 dogs they breed, and thats all they do, how can you expect to give that many dogs the love, attention, and field time they need to live a happy life???? Like I said my biggest reason for breeding my dog is not to make $1500 a pup, its to reproduce some of the finest lines out there and give your everyday average american an oppurtunity to have a great dog that they can enjoy hunting with, and even more importantly have as a companion. I may not be the perfect dog owner, but I will tell you that my dog and pups do not recieve any lack of attention. So if anyone out there is looking to give my pups a loving home where they will get the attention they deserve they are the people I am after. And if they can get those pups at a reasonable price even better for them!!
