First off I totally disagree with seattlesetter. If you want a flushing breed fine look for a breed you want. By all means by what he suggests that your legs should be able to keep up is wrong. He is implying a person should carry a loaded gun and run to keep up with a flushing breed when it is on a track. The breed of choice you choose in a flushing dog should be taught hup similar to a pointing dog being taught whoa.
Second I do not suggest you look at one' s personal choice or opinion because it can be extremely bias. In a way if they like there dog and the breed it should be rightly so to be bias, but not where it concerns another persons committment, responsibility and finiancial resorces. Now many dogs get purchased just for pets, which is sad, especially in a sporting breed class. So keep this in mind but you can look at what the majority of consumers purchased or registered last year through AKC. Simply go to
www.akc.org and on the left side click on registration statistics.
