Questions you may wish to ask and topics to discuss with a prospective breeder:
- Are the parents NAVHDA or equivalent tested? The NAVHDA testing requirements followed by many breeders provides an objective evaluation of the parents’ hunting and obedience qualities. Identify who trained and ran the sire and dam in their performance testing. Part of the client/breeder relationship should include training help and or guidance. Breeders with training and testing experience offer clients a significantly stronger support network.
- During your search for a true hunting partner, you should ask if both parents have/are being hunted on wild birds and/or game. Discuss with the breeder what wild bird/game hunting he or she does and the performance of sire and dam on wild birds. Ask what strengths and weaknesses the breeder observed in the field while hunting.
- Ask to meet the parents and if convenient see them hunt in order to evaluate their performance.
