Predigree Purchase

Hi all,

My father has had gun dogs for years and I am looking to buy him a new bitch in the coming months.

I havent bought a dog before (but can assure you the family have had them for years!) and have no idea where to start. We have always had working dogs from the same bloodline - I am currently digging out the pedegree certificates as we speak.

Any help/advice on how I trace these back / what I should look for in a pedegree, what injections should they have etc. would be appreciated.

Thank you in advance!

Matt

You're really going to need more. Look for names that hold titles of somekind.
Notables. You might want to go to perfectpedigrees.com and create a weblink
to attach to your posting. That way we can see the whole line and make suggestions.
