Started dogs?

Uh-HUH! STILL looking at petfinder is ALL you admitted to, as I recall! Looking at the breeder sites as well, huh? How many were you planning to get, and when? I know for me, I look and I want ALL OF THEM, RIGHT NOW!!

I am not sure about that term either.. Could be called " foundation dogs" but still doesnt sound like the same to me... And who would let a great dog go to someone else if they could take care of it... nope- looks like a hype word to me..

A started dog is one that has been partially trained in a certain area -- usually herding and hunting. It's usually a very young dog.

Started Labs would be hunting. Their is a lot of breeders that have started setters for hunting, so I assume that's what it means for labs.

depends on the breed, for a BC Started mean that dog is started as a working dog, they are past the crazy "OMG ITS SHEEP!" stage and have learned basic commands. started BCs are usually between 1-2 years old and cost WAAAYYYY more then a non started dog lol
