I.S.'s are not a hard breed to find, I know a lady in Grandy, NC. She breeds once every two years. If you tell her your story im betting she would be willing to give you a discount on the price, But a female is going to cost more then a male(breeding purposes). Specially if you go thru a breeder, because then you become competition in the breeding. She doesnt breed for money, but for the love of the breed. Careful on websites, alot of them are puppymills, specially most that state they will ship ( not all, but most )
