The best advice you've been given is to find a person who hunts the heck out of his dogs on the game you plan to hunt in the country you plan to hunt and buy the pup you like best from that litter.

Re: Running Style/gaite?

With pointers, there are several different gaits that you might see. The first common gait is where the dog runs and its motion is a bit like a rocking horse...up and down. This is not the most efficient gait as the up and down motion is wasteful of energy. However it is a relatively smooth gait an...

It sounds as though the other breeder's pups don't start as quickly as the bloodline you have.
