very much appreciate it, you can probably answer some questions for me
am i going to most likeley be spending about $1000 for a dog whos hips are solid?
because i would gladly drop and extra 500 now to ensure that i dont have to drop 5000 in 7 years on surgery

You could go old school. Bullets are cheaper than surgery.

You can find pups with hip guarantee for less but they will still be North of $500. The problem is the cost of getting the sire and dame certified. Most don't go through the trouble unless they are top notch field dogs. For me it is a no brainer but as you can see in this thread I do not agree with everybody when it comes to raising/training a dog. The surgery cost is high but the time I put into training a dog is valuable and I want the best shot I can get at having a healthy, trained, hunting machine. I work my dogs year round. It is a hobby that I truly enjoy so I try to improve my odds by buying a pup from a trusted breeder who offers health guarantees.

These will kill every other dog that comes around. I don't trust them around chirrens. But if you get one, take it to the dog park and feed it a chihuahua.

Then why the hell are you talking about paying $1000? You can get a finished dog that won't eat your house for $2000.
And whoever said his lab didn't chew his house up must have never left for work while that SOB was a puppy. I've had 3 in my adult life and I'm on my 4th recliner, if that says anything. Hell, I had one get on the counter and eat a 5 Lb box of FROZEN chicken breasts from inside the package in the time I went to use the restroom. I came back into the kitchen to find the yellow Sanderson Farms styrofoam boat sitting next to him on the floor.
And I wouldn't pay $5000 for a surgery to fix a dog if he shite cold beer and Copenhagen snuff.
