is there anything called ethics or morals anymore!! i recently sold 5 of my 9 month old pups and thank God my dogs are doing great and doing what they were breed for! I could not and would not want to face someone after i bald face lied to them. I take pride in one of the few things we have left....our word! I take a persons word like true faith. I dont think you should have to "Hunt" behind the dogs you want to buy....you should be able to call a man, talk to em and take em for their WORD!!!! ANd THEN, when you go hunting, the dogs hold up to the mans word of what the dog is capable and/or trained to do. ETHICS!!!!! MORALES!!!! where is it and where has it gone?
Its always been the same with hunting dogs! I have seen fist fights over bad beagle and coonhound deals, and stories of a shootings over bulldogs and bird dogs as a kid in North Alabama 35 years ago! From what I have seen, if anything , it has gotten better in the hunting dog world.
Dog jockeying and bad dog trades/deals have been around as long as men have been hunting dogs.
I myself have been "taken" on some dogs when I was a teenager and in my early 20's. Been handed culls by a few as if they were doing me a favor! Raise registered well bred cat pups bought from out of state only to have them grow up looking like a painted husky dog with a curled up hairy tail!
Maybe we need a "lemon law" regarding dogs instead of used cars! lol.
