NO PAPERS

Here is my question for you. Let's say he did give you the papers how do you know they are correct? All you have is word that is how the dogs are bred. For that matter the sire or dam or both might have had some phantom breeding. The only positive way is to have them DNA tested and I betcha that did not happen.

Lots of folks got in trouble with this some time back in the bird dog breeding business. They came up with the DNA testing and come to find out some of the hot shot famous breeders were selling dogs that were not bred as advertised.

I used to run alot of bird dogs and the absolute best bred (on papers) dog I ever owned was the sorriest dog I ever owned. With proper breeding that dog could have set bird dogs back 50 years. I gave him away and regret not shooting him for the good of the breed.

If you got a good dog be well pleased and I would not hesitate to breed him. Also just because one dog is good does not mean that they are a prepotent sire.
