Thank you all for the input and the advice.
Truth be told, I had no idea so much goes into having a hunting dog. I knew they needed to be trained, but I did not know everything else that everybody here pointed out. Getting a hunting dog is still far in the future for me, so I’m just getting an idea of what is required first.
If I do try to get a hunting dog in the future, I’ll probably try and get one for waterfowl. Waterfowl is what I primarily hunt for.
Again, thank you all for the input. I really appreciate it. Jared
