I put down my dog this month after 15 years and looking to purchase another female. I can not hunt any more, but was wondering if you ever have dogs that do not quite make the grade. I have 1/2 acre in dm,ia so there is plenty of room for it to move in. I got this dog, when it was about 2 from animal rescue league and it had its tail bobbed. Not that that matters, but maybe you might know where this dog came from. Any help appreciated, Cliff. Phone (515)280-7657
