Have a pro look at her and give you an honest opinion even though it could hurt your feelings. Nobody wants to hear negative things about their dog. But better to know your dog won't make it than waste your money. Good luck!

No doubt, I don't think any less of my dogs if I get negative feedback from someone. I will always believe they are the greatest thing in the world and they are part of the family.

I'll give another nod to Doug @ Cook Canyon in Ellensburg.  He trained my chocolate lab pup this summer.  When i dropped her off, she wouldn't leave my side.  She tears the fields up now, finds pheasant even in fields hunted the day before.  She's even brought pheasant back to me that weren't shot.  I left her there for 1 month, cost me $750- you can't even buy the birds to train the pup yourself for that amount.  Best money I've spent in a long time.
