Hey Breech,
I bought mine from a breeder on the Eastern shore Of MD. One thing shore guys know is duck and goose hunting dogs. Mine came with a blood line as long as you are tall. I paid $1k and he's worth every penny. Not only a great water dog but an even better family dog with our 4 year old son. So check out breeders to your south and maybe enjoy a weekend on the Chesapeke Bay.
