Thread: Crossing show lines

whilst I 100% agree with you "is" there a case to be had for the average Jo who does not know how to train or doesn't give the time to do so .I recognize our Setters and Pointers can be Ferraris in the hands of the lazy ,ignorant hunter .
I will state a case for a Setter breeder I have talked to that stated his clientele specifically ask for non field trial breed animals but bench dogs as they hunter closer and slower --potentially.

My personal thoughts if you cant cut it with a well breed Pointing dog get a fat lab or Spaniel .Anyway mine is not the only opinion that counts and it will be interesting to see the thoughts of others also
