Best bet is to always see what accomplishments the sire and dam have, titles mean the dogs can cut the mustard and should pass along their genetic make up. Look for SH(senior hunter) or MH(master hunter) titles at a minimum on both sire and dam, these are AKC hunt test titles and IMO mean more than UKC titles. Don't get bamboozled by adds talking about championship pedigrees, most people don't have a clue what they are talking about.
I would also make sure you have a written health guarntee(sp) covering genitic defects,CNM and EIC clear, for a minimum of 26 mos. There are plenty of back yard breedings that have F.U. genetics and will cost you plenty money and heartache, spend more get more. $650.00 would be at the bottom of the scale on purchase price but some good deals can be found for around $500.00. Let me know if you need help sorting it out I am on another site daily and can help you look.

Thanks for the info. A buddy of mine had a black lab that was GHRCH a few times. Maybe you've heard of Vedge's Cool Papa Nixon? Well, he had a few straws pulled and when the time is right and their is a litter, I get the pick. Not sure when that will happen though. I hunted with him and Nixon for years and I will tell you that hunting with a dog that is that well trained is amazing.
