It all depends on your boy's experience and ability to win. Is he a poor, good or great handler? Some handlers get paid a lot and some handlers have to pay the owner to get him to let them handle a dog.

If he’s going to hunt one by the month $500 is a steal if there hunted right.

I started out 4 yr ago and was charging $250 a month. Didn't have a dime won in $kc or chkc or had never won a cast in ukc. All I had was the desire to put them boots on EVERY night and the mind set to learn. Now here I set, kennel stays full at $600 at $600 a month and people waiting in line. I've won over $25,000 in $kc over $10,000 in chkc and have finished several in ukc
One thing I've stuck too weather they like it or not is honesty. I don't sugar coat what I think about a dog. Yours mine or whos ever. Most will tell you im too honest in the business this day and time to even be in it and they are right but I won't change who I am for a dollor.
I wish your boy the best of luck. But hunting for the public can sometimes be more like work than pleasure
