Boy did I get screwed !

Whos fault is it ? Yours or his. I'm not trying to be a smart a$$, I'm just curious about where you honestly lay the blame. Did you hunt with them before you gave him your money? A trial is only as good as the man giving it. How many times have you taken them hunting before you decided they are no count? They might have actually ranged out with his lead dogs and they might start doing it with yours once they get use to you and your dogs. It's hard to honestly evaluate 9 month old pups, especially if you have only hunted them a few times. I'm not trying to get you stirred up, just giving food for thought and curious about your answers to the questions.
