You have the right idea, but all of us are not good dog trainers. So for the ones that are not good trainers, we have to buy our dogs trained. I am here to tell you that it makes no difference how much money you have, a truly great dog is hard to find and harder to buy. Training your own has lots of benefits, but lots of drawbacks. You may spend a lot of time with a good prospect that never makes the kind of dog you want. It's a crapshoot, you win sometimes but lose a lot of times. Buying one has it's benefits and drawbacks, you can pass on the dog if it does not have what you are looking for and save a lot of time. Now you may find one that suits you, but the owner won't sell, had that happen several times. What I try to do is find one that has most of what I am looking for, with some rough spots that I can polish to my liking, that can be bought. Sometimes I am happy, sometimes the polishing does not work out so good. Lol. Dave
