Default RE: Please read this before purchasing a bird dog from this Kennel!!!!

Im saddened to hear this information about Harris Kennels. Bird dogs can be very unpredictable in the hands of a new handeler, and I have often seen situations such as this. There is a huge diffrence between a finished dog and a started dog, and wild bird experince. The transition between pen raised and wild birds can be like going through training all over again. I am sorry that the kennel did not handle the situation well , and I am suprised that they did not give specific instructions on her future training and development. Don't write your pup off yet!!! If at all possible find a club or trainer to help you through some of her problems and maybe build a dog that you are proud to own, handle and hunt over.
