I've seen plummers retrieve as good as any gun dog on the stand,own 2 that i can dig to,bush with,ferret with and rat with.As a all rounder they take some beating and as for price i've a plummer pup here,legaly docked and jabbed,broken to chickens and ferrets from working parents i'll sell for £200 and thats no dearer than any pat or jrt.The nose on the plummer takes some beating and as for pedigrees,well thats just a fully tracable history of the dogs themselves and has feck all to do with how they stand in a ring and thats also real advice.
