Re: Advice on the "Bucket List" trip
General plans are coming together. Appreciate all the input. Al Gadoury will be in the plan somewhere. (Saw Scotts' show). Have contacted some of your suggestions but please keep them coming. I owe all of you a good cigar, a drink of some sort or a good dog biscuit ! Your choice...Thanks

Re: Dog food
My dogs dog very well on Victor High Pro Plus. Check out the ingredients. I'd consider it a middle of the road from a cost standpoint. Dogs do better compared to when I was feeding a more expensive feed.

Re: Buying,Breeding,or does it make a difference
Good question. I think if I had what I thought was a superior female, I'd follow ultracarrys' philosophy. If not, I'd agree with Cajun Casey. I'm just looking for the best dog while trying not to be "kennel blind". The same amount of time, effort and $$$ would be put into either.
