Have you ever seen the magazines "Gun Dog" or "Pointer" (not sure if that's the whole name for the second one). Some Wal-Marts carry Gun Dog so you might look there. Anyways, they usually have ads in the back section and I think there are some reputable breeders in there. Bought my first dog from one of the ads and couldn't be happier. Maybe there will be a breeder out west with an ad.
