Here in Colorado seems to be the center of a lot of PL activity.
Been around a few, seen a few run hunt tests. If you primarily hunt upland they can do work. But the multiple grand master PL titled dogs struggle with master level hunt test work. They are over priced IMO. $1,500 for a grand master titled dog breeding. That struggled to earn a AKC Master title is ridiculous. You can get a Field Champion breeding for less than that.
