The year old guarantee thing would bother me,,, contrary to popular internet opinion and claims by the snake oil salesmen, I know beyond a shadow of a doubt the vast majority of the time, it’s still guess work as to weather a dog will make it or not, in the woods ayway..
Me if I bought a pup, I wouldn’t expect a guarantee.. I’d do my homework on the man and his dogs and take my shot understanding full well the risk and or reward of my actions.. If I bought a started or finished dog, I’d go hunt with him. Not once but several times, every dog has good days and bad.
Very good point, Skoal
