I hear that, our Brittany was/is a n AKC hunt dog, but her personality was keeping her from “advancing”. She’s a great hunting and family dog for us.Almost all dogs are great, especially rescues.
One of the biggest turnoffs is when people tell you all about their 'AKC' registered, papered, pure bred, and insist on telling you how much they paid. There isn't a single club/org of any size that has a handle on dog lineage and such- it's all smoke and mirrors.
Papers? We gots no stinking papers!
