Now out of all people I thought you would understand. Kim makes his living hunting dogs. That means part of his living is traing dogs and planning on selling a few of them. That is a huge part of a houndsmans living. An honest houndsman like Kim culls the junk dogs and keeps the good ones ( that is why he has such a good name for himself). I am sure if you call Kim he will sell you any dog he has. You see he is a HOUNDSMAN and he can make more just as good. The line of dogs he has produce these type of dogs and the type of man he is he will make more and that is how he provides for his family.
Now you want to find holes? Why don't you put up the money, buy the dog and then report to us how the dog is junk and didn't catch you any bear, lion and bobcat?
No dog is perfect ( unless you have some?) and if he had the perfect dog I am sure you could not touch it for $6,000.
I can't understand why you guys would come on here and start to bad mouth a guy and a dog he is trying to sell when you know nothing of what you are talking about.???? You don't hunt biggame but yet you think you know this man and his dog.
For you that are in the market for a dog, I can tell you from experience, Kim is a man of his word and is as honest as the day is long. I have bought a dog from Kim Payne before and he told me everything about the dog and I felt she was a better dog than what he told me. He talked her down more than he talked her up. Yes I would buy another from him. I would buy this dog if I had the money, without even looking at it or talking to Kim. Thats how much I respect and trust the Man.
