Yeh thanks Ackley - I figure, if they can be guide dogs, bomb and drug detectors and police dogs how hard could teaching them to find deer be? The trouble is finding a good hunting line. I had a look at dogzonline and there is only a couple who breed hunters.

Thoughts on going with the same kennel as your brother? No better way to know the calibre of a dog than to hunt with it. If you like your bro's dog, and they have a litter coming up, could cut out a bit of the gamble with going with a kennel that you haven't had as much experience with.

that has been a consideration and was the original plan, but I'm all about principle and think it's crap if I try to repeatedly contact someone to get no response back. At the end of the day I would love to have a dog tomorrow but I'll wait another 12 months if I have to to get the right one.
