Hi, had dogs but never a gundog,I want a Springer for beating/walked up next year and have put some feelers out and the price difference is unbelievable.
For a recognised working line I have been offered between 450 all in and 800 PLUS innoculations.
I don't want to start a debate over whether it's worth having these lines in your dog because you can get good working dogs from non ftch lines but its a fact that it's less likely.
If I am not going to trail them so is it worth spending on the high end dogs,somewhere in the middle or a bottom range one whose owner works and trails his dogs all year round and has just one litter?
