I just purchased a Chocolate pup. The bloodline is excellent many championship hunters. Distance might be a problem for you. I am in Northern California, and purchased the pup in Orville California. I just spoke to the owner and they have one male left. These pups are beautiful with blocky heads. Sire and Dame have hips certified. Call 530 533-4859.
