why not just find another fellow american that breeds dogs for work mate
not saying yer dog if put to another wont make hunting dogs, but i am saying even if they do
when compared to a purpose bred dog off parents that both do the job,
then they will probably not be as good,
if i was you, id wait it out an get a pup from tested parents
where in usa are you, as we have a few other hillbillys i mean americans on the site haha
