Twist 26 Posted August 7, 2012 Report Share Posted August 7, 2012 Just wondering what people look for when buying in a adult dog Quote Link to post
South hams hunter 8,921 Posted August 7, 2012 Report Share Posted August 7, 2012 Depends on what you want the dog for. Make sure you see it work on what YOU intend to work the dog on. Pick what you want the dog to do before you even start looking and then start looking at dogs, see what sort of price the dogs are going for and then make sure you have that sort of coin and fuel to get there. Try and get a trial and make sure there are no silly faults with dog Quote Link to post

J.DOG 1,355 Posted August 7, 2012 Report Share Posted August 7, 2012 Got purdys progress comeing and going to read up before I make my choice Good idea , best thing to do is research about what cross is best and what you want from a dog what I will say is , on purdys progress ,purdy learns really quick and doesn't make many mistakes that's just her so don't worry if your future pup don't pick up things as quick as purdy did Quote Link to post
