WEll I am Sorry that you went through t he ordeal and you probably paid more for a dog with papers not because its better dog but because the dog had a good lineage that you were counting on.
I pay more for PAPERS. NOT BECAUSE I AM BREEDING PAPERS, go look in classifieds and before yall start making comments, but because I want do alot of research and put alot of faith the WORKING Dogs in thats dogs pedigree to shine through because I have already REsearched and know that those dogs produce and will be an assett to my pack of DOGS for along time to come.
SO IF I DO BUY a DOG, YOU know I either really liked it on its performance, its families performance or it sure done something to make me like it.
I hate you got taken by a smooth talker and it happens to alot of folks more often then they want to admit.

Id consentrate on the steak and not the peas a good dog is worth more than a dog that wont hunt and has papers. JMO
And a dog with both (good dog with papers) can be a cornerstone to keep you in good dogs for a good long while.
"Papers" aren't as important as the pedigree...
