I agree with you 100%. It's just like I know some breeders that if they get a def dog or blind they still sell it. I'm sorry that dog should be put dog that a mess up on the breeding. And like you said I know of two guys that will take a dog back if it does work and 50/50 change it was the hunter fault on why the dog not working. And if you can't cull the dog then atleast fix it so you can't breed it.
I agree. We sell all our pups with a "Hunting/Working Guarantee" if by 18 mths they do not perform to the customers needs, I state, i will take the dog back, work it with my team..If it STILL shows no drive/hunt then it's either spayed & given away (or kept by owner) or terminated. Then i supply the customer with another. If it does work with my pack then the customer has some handling issues..IMO.
To date it hasn't been needed!
I have somelines from some camp-a-while x's and some conch's lines amongst some other less popular lines. The camp-a-while mix seem to work the air (scenting) better & the conch's lines are better finders on the ground.
I'm currently researching a new gyp to import to Oz next year! So this topic is of great interest to me!
