You asked a question about what to do with a dog that is not up to "standard" I would have the dog fixed. Make an agreement wiht the person buying the dog to have it fixed. Most people understand. As far as price. You are going to have this dog for as many as 12 yrs or more. So do you spend $300 and get a dog were "both parents hunt" or spend a bit more like my puppies $800 and have parents that have completed confirmation test with a high rating hip x rays approved by Germany and both of the parents have passed very very tuff hunting test in order to become breedable? If you pro rate the difference you cant go wrong by spending a bit more. I dont want it to come across that I am just out to sell my puppies. I want as many people to relize that there is a diffence in the quality of dogs out there and just becouse they have the name of a shorthairs doesnt mean anything.
