Starting Gun Dogs vs. The Demands of Family Life

[KurtR]

I’m not sure i understand your point. Are you suggesting people should not buy puppies from professional breeders or are you saying people who are professional breeders are professionally breeding because they want to make a living doing it?

I see it both ways but i also know pedigrees and what dogs i want and have seen most of them run. The ones i stay away from are they are good hunting dogs with no titles or health certs done. In the retriever world alot of times general public isnt privy to the top tier litters and those are not produced by breeders per say.
