Marshall collars and recievers are the best out there they are expensive but like Duane said you get what you pay for. http://www.marshallradio.com/. Gps has alot of bugs still but the guys I have talked to that are using them say they are great but they do not replace the tracking collars.
Do your self a favor and buy the Marshall and ad to them with the gps.
Pup =$350
Dog food for a year to feed it =$360 +
Gas for the year to train it =$7500
training fee for the year or a mans wages @ $400 a month =$4800
Vet bills for the year if your lucky =$150
$13,160 is what you can expect to pay for a year old dog and that is for a year old started dog, so maybe you can understand why Van charges what he does. I don't know of anyone that hunts his dogs harder and more than Van does so if you want a dog that is doing what a man says he is doing pay the $1500 and get one from Van and if you aren't happy with it Van will make it right with you. Many Guys that sell a dog are just like Duane said " Dog Jockies" Be careful, a guy that holds a full time job and has a family is going to be hunting on the weekend if his wife says its ok. A guy like Van that the dogs are his full time job and his family couldn't tell you what he looks like will have the better dog. It is NOT just reputation it is a LOT of hard work and devotion to the dogs.
