depends on the dog
depends on can you work the dog
depends on what you shoot
depends on alot of things

not trained 0-250
half trained 0-600
trained;) 0-1200
Fully trained 0- whatever someone will charge but your talking over a grand

You could get a dog that was trained for nothing or you could be paying alot of money for one. Simple thing and cheapest to do is get a 6-12month dog then send it to a good trainer, will cost you less than 800e;) dog included

ud probably get a half trained non registerd lab or springer or something for about 250/300 or so but you would stil have to do some work with the dog id say

well if there is a good foundation their and the dog is not jumping up on the kids that would be a start but every one i talk to is saying dont buy a dog from the net if its for sale then there is something wrong with it

you have to be careful with that. never buy a dog without seen it working and a shot fired over..They may be getting rid of the dog for honest reasons or the dog may be gun shy, useless to hunt or just way too head strong.


If you got a pup and taught it the basics of sitting/staying and brought it out for a season when its young with a few other dogs it would learn off them fairly fast.. ive seen it done with a few dogs in the past.
