Am i the only one?

Wasnt tryin to start any fights and im glad that it hasnt come to that, its nice to hear diff. Perspectives. The origional reason for this post is more or less due to the fact that i have seen a recent upward trend in "finished help dogs" being sold on this site for up to 400$!!!!! This blows my mind!

We as dogmen owe it to ourselves and each other to continually improve the dogs we produce, in my honest opinion this means culling substandard stock and "accidental/mistake breedings" out of unproven dogs. I did this 1 time(my duck and dove dog, akc lab tied up with a pit/curr mix that doesnt hunt) complete accident and i didnt see it happen, just had a good idea of it, out of 11 pups only 1 was worth keeping and he is my upcoming duck/dove dog.....i will never EVER do that again! I have been down that road and will tell anyone that will listen to bring em to the vet and ABORT. My creed now days is only buy dogs or pups from proven parents/ reputable hunters and cull hard.

I hope this makes sense and does not offend but There is no place for a help dog in my yard, feed is too expensive these days to feed a dog that wont find and bay its own hog and honor anothers bay, I dont think its askin too much of em. to each his own and different strokes for different folks!
