The problems that you need to consider when going for a not so common dog is the genes, it can be difficult to find a great parentage when there is limited breeding. Limited means look out for questionable breeders who go after people with the mind set on hard to come by breeding. My wife was interested in that breed or the Portuguese water spaniels we have always had Labs and a friend who has been active with retrievers publishes a magazine on obedience and agility in additional certified as an AKC conformation judge told her and I quote " Rare dogs are rare for cause, so be careful"
Spot on.
