thanks for the feedback thus far - yes the papers mean nothing in terms of hunting ability etc - for me the papers are purely for the dogs health to ensure they are not inbred. I have heard some pretty bad stories of breeding practices from "puppy farms" etc where dogs are birthing twice in a year, older dogs are still being bred, excessive litters from the same parents meaning that their genes are wide spread almost quarantining inbreeding to occur.

papers will tell you if you are looking at working lines or non working lines, easy to say working lines looking a pictures of dead shit but how much of that is hunter input and not genetics, no papers not real proof of what you are actually buying , registered breeders abide by rules and must have health testing prior to breeding as well as the amount of litters the bitch can have in her lifetime and an age limit.
