First question to ask the advertisers is - are they show strain?
Once they say yes, hang up!

I got a 1 year old springer/lab cross for a friend a few weeks ago for free.
We took her out a few evenings over the last couple of weeks to try her out and I can honastly say Ive rarely seen a dog so eager to hunt at that age and she doesn't mind gun fire either.
She even retrieved a pidgeon that a lad had shot earlier in the day.
So don't be in too much of a panic to spend big money you never know what the local pound might have.

some of the finest dogs are in the pound try there first. i received a phone call to say there was two 6 month old wire hair pointers left in .i knew a stalking friend looking for a dog .
he went for a look and now has a lovely bitch .
