I didn't say anything about money. Of course it is what drives the world. How many of you spend the money to breed good dogs, and then give them away? (Not talkin about your friends and relatives here.)
BTW - in the late '60's this woman got $2500 and 2 litters of pups (by her Stud) for an 18 month old *****(female dog) that wasn't even for sale. That came from a "Hunt Club" that only wanted the dog for hunting, and being able to get the pups was the only way she would sell the dog.
Now, personally, I don't really care to hunt with "Field Trial" dogs anyway, and trained mine to hunt the way I liked. All the stuff they train dogs to do to look pretty kinda gets in the way of a good "meat" dawg!
