You can side step a lot of nonsense by selecting breeders of hunting dogs. Good health and robustness are key consideration along with sociability.

- radicaldreamer 3y agoSame with herding dogs, many reputable breeders do a lot to prevent health issues like genetic testing, very early training etc.
- NegativeK 3y agoI expected working dogs to actually be largely free of genetic issues, which is why I asked -- but somehow we've _still_ managed to give them a bunch of problems. And that's discounting the fact that most people simply don't have the will or the time to give a working dog the attention and stimulation that it needs to not be a neurotic mess.
