HA-This is the best thread I have read in a long time! My only question is:
Why would you buy (or breed) a dog with the expense, time, and attachment that comes with owning and training any dog but especially a hunting dog without having as many assurances as are reasonably possible that the dog is free from defects?

By the way-I found this lab/GSP mix that mated with my bloodhound/shepard mix and I think they will produce GREAT pups-they should track,bite,point,flush,slobber and howl at the moon....anybody interested???
