This is an easy awnser aspen,no one unless your willing to go with backyard stuff that's overpriced by double,You could ship 2 pups here for the cost of buying one locally.Really you've got a pretty broad query out here,are you looking for blood from coverdog lines,Shooting dog lines or All age lines,Do you prefer Elhew blood,Miller blood,Rebel blood,Fiddler Blood.I'd direct your search to the south.
Gary Lester has stated many times that Snowatch is a great foot hunting dog. But break out a horse, and get ready to go like hell.
The nice thing is well bred EP's are cheap. You could buy a pup, have it sent, and still come out money ahead. There's tons of well bred EP's down here in the South for $350-$400. Don't narrow your search either. Many of the top AA pointers are great foot hunting dogs. Gary Lester has stated many times that Snowatch is a great foot hunting dog.

There are several very nice dogs in the PAC NW that are being bred. Not all are competition dogs.WRL
Ron Loomis in Kalispell (Montanabirdogs.com) has Elhew and Guardrail bloodline.
Be interesting to see the pedigree on the pointer pictured,The dog has a certain bloodline "look" about it that tells me "nope".

Not all are competition dogs.WRLHow are they proven then?Since that likely comes off as a snobby comment, and I don't mean it that way, I should probably explain by saying one of the attractions I have to breeders who campaign dogs is it shows me their dogs can handle the pressures of training as well as the physical demands sometimes asked of when hunting. If a litter comes from parents that are proven at the extreme end I will probably have a dog that can do what I want it to and most likely be more forgiving of any training mistakes.

Elhew,Most likely Sinbad Quote from: WRL on December 06, 2013, 12:57:46 PMQuote from: wildweeds on December 05, 2013, 06:07:38 PMBe interesting to see the pedigree on the pointer pictured,The dog has a certain bloodline "look" about it that tells me "nope".Oh really...do tell which "look" of bloodlines this dog has....I would LOOOOVVVEEE to hear it.WRL
Elhew,Most likely Sinbad.The body spots are indicitive of snakefoot/damascus influence as well,fibber McGee threw dogs with bodyspots as well.Bodyspots = Elhew influence, Miller pointers are almost always clear white with some very very light possible ticking on the ears.Fiddler blood dogs are almost always Black/white or liver/white. Rebel bred dogs are mostly Liver/white.
