I'm a little confused. You say you watched her and liked her, but then when you got her home she wasn't close to what you thought. When you watched her, what did you have her do for work?

Is there a big difference in the type of terrain where you hunt vs where she comes from?

What are the things you were looking for where she fell short? Did you tell the breeder this? Did you see the dog do any of this type of work when you watched her?

Did you buy this pup from the breeder or someone else?
