I am glad I live in the northeast too.. But you are making a big mistake calling me a tree hugger as that is about as retarded as you can get!! You shouldn't be allowed to own any dogs period let alone sell them. You for one would have no idea how to manage and get around in the big woods up here. You could not possibly own a dog if your statements are even part way true up in these parts. I also hope word gets out on how great of an individual you are when you try and sell more puppies. You are a waste of space when it comes to hunting and dogs. You are to blind to realize what a dird dog is to what a hound is.. For as far as I am concerned you need to be put out of bussiness.. By the way my bird dogs are under my control they are redish brown and they haven't been shot yet for a deer and do not even begin to give chase to one. They are trained well..I also have went to watch some braces when I first got my bird dogs and most of them were doing a pretty poor job. Chasing rabbits and the like..
