Here's my girl. She is on the small side for a GSP but she can go all day.
Now I just need to find more time to get out with her.

Im having a heck of a time deciding between a lab and a GSP. I want it to duck and pheasant hunt!

My lab will pheasant hunt. He does not point but he sure will flush the birds and bring em back to ya. Not too sure how well a GSP would do at duck hunting in SD but I am sure if you get a good one you could give it a try. |

I duck hunt with a couple of mine here in Oregon. The key to duck hunting with a gsp is to teach them sit, stay and hush from a very early age. The first couple of times you'll have to reinforce the "hush" command but once they figure out the game they'll be hooked. GSPs are suppose to be good retrievers. Some will pin a bird and leave it for you to pick up but this is usually due to bad habits. I make my dogs bring the bird back to me to my hand. That's part of their job. It takes a little discipline at the start but once they've learned that in order to go out for the next bird to finish their work on the first they'll do just fine. There are somelines of GSPs that are not strong retrievers. Typically these are dogs from more showlines though some of the field trial dogs have a lot of pointer bred into them and pointers are not as good of retrievers as a GSP would be. A tall tail sign of this is think skinned. The thinner the skin on a GSP the less likely it is a 100% GSP. Thin skin is also something to shy away from if you're going to duck hunt. They will get too cold. I'm a bit of a p^ssy when it comes to hunting in a blind myself. I bring a propane furnace to mine and I keep a towel to dry off my dog after a wet retrieve [the best duck hunting is in the most miserable conditions]. GSPs are from Germany and I do believe Germany gets as cold as South Dakota so don't shy away from a GSP just because you think it'll get too cold. Good food [high protein], a towel and water along with good breeding and you should be fine. Hunting pheasants in South Dakota you can get away with a lab but here in Oregon there's not competition between the two breeds at all. A GSP will bag 10 times the birds as a lab will. Best wishes, Patty |

Check out the Drahthaar. They will point your upland birds and retrieve all your waterfowl too. Then if you need to blood track some deer they will do that too. They have better coats to handle the cold then a GSP does. http://www.vdd-gna.org |

A wire hair is another choice for pointing and cold weather retrieving. Be cautious with that breed as they can have aggression problems due to being bred for guarding property, livestock and people as well as hunting. Good info here. |

I didn't notice that, that's just damn funny. Apparently just her pointing is a little off because she can find the birds no problem. Unless the bird landed after she was pointing. |

Liver/White English Springer Spaniel aka "the terrorist puppy" she'll retrieve, we're haveing a problem with "drop it"... chew it apart seems to be the trend, she's about a year old
 8-1/2 year old British Yellow Lab, more of a lover than a retriever or an 90lb kitty cat, he's a great guard dog even though he doesn't hold up the "retriever status".

Hey boknows20 I didn't know you were an ARFCOMMER! Its good to see you and the puppers again.
I logged on to brag up my new pup but was amazed to see my two grandpuppies Here's my new pup. I've waited a really long time to get this boy. I always wanted a male dog out of my old foundation dog Trevor:  However something always got in the way when the opportunity arrived, health issues, financial issues, I was always saying to myself "the next litter I'm keeping a male" yada yada yada. Finally about three years ago I got my male and he was perfect. His mother is a daughter of my dog Sonny [see above] so it was a combination of my dog Sonny & Trevor. My puppy was beautiful conformation wise, had Sonny's awesome Temperament and training abilities, he was all I could hope for with one exception - he turned out to only have one descending testicle. Not a huge issue for most but since I raise, train & show GSPS he had to be neutered and eventually sold.  Well to make a long story short a man from New Hampshire contacted me about breeding his bitch to my old dog's frozen semen [Trevor died at age 15 two years ago]. His bitch is a dual champion am. field champion and master hunter. Her father was also a 3/4 brother to my old Trevor, who is a member of the GSPCA Hall of Fame. Here's mom:  I didn't really want a puppy right now as I'm going through a nasty divorce and my life is chaotic and to make matters even worse my last litter of pups had parvo so I have that to deal with for a while.  But I had to take him. He is just beautiful. I picked him up last Thrusday. His name is Murphy as it is Murphy's Law that when a Trevor boy is available my life would be so hectic:Here he is pictured at 8 weeks of age:  Needless to say I'm very pleased with my new little boy.

I read about your devorce on her in anoother thread. i am really sorry that you confirmmed it.
Your new puppy looks good. I can not believe how much Max looks like Sunny in pictures. We picked up another rescue.. Meet Buddy, a 10 year old GSP from north Georgia. Although Max and Summer are having a hard time excepting him in the pack.     After Max and him got into it a few months ago...

"Luke"
 Not really sure what he is, but he is built alot like a GSP/Foxhound and as you can see has some Lab in him...adopted him from the shelter...has an incredible natural point, but is gun shy. He is almost 3 now and we have worked on it some, but I have just about given up and just let him be a companion, which is fine with me as that fits my lifestyle right now better anyways. He is absolutely the best dog I have ever had after 2 other labs and other misc dogs. I wanted a GSP, but my gf talked me into going by the shelter and I found him (9 months at the time) and just had to have him... another shot...his favorite thing to do with his duck...

Who says shar pei's can't bird hunt? We took this dog in and she's been a sweetheart. We found her roaming our property, took her to get checked out by the vet, and within a couple of days, she was living indoors with us. She's a natural with quail.
 The day we took her in. She had some open wounds, fleas, ticks, you name it. Even while in pain, she was extremely friendly. I didn't give her much of a chance, but my wife and her sister did. I'm glad they convinced me.   And this was taken recently. She's quite a unique looking dog. I atribute her   And our new addition. I just need to keep him from getting spoiled by my wife. We've got enough couch potato dogs.

new pooch.
she is 11 weeks old, my wife posted an add on craigslist looking for a family dog. She described our situation (kids, big yard, one of us is always home, etc.) Well a woman up in corvalis replied and said that her dad had just bought a dog, but he was disabled and his wife recently became very ill. They could no longer care for the puppy and had to give it up. She was going to go to the pound in a few days. My wife picked her up the next day. I was not to pleased, but she is a very sweet dog and learns quick. She is not to hyper around the kids and is already house broke. I just started training come, once she gets that down I will start with heel then whoa. I will not be able to get her out this season . but I should be able to bring home some wings and birds for training this winter. I did get her into a covey of quail a few days ago. I got her excited for the scent and she started pointing. Its still early for her to get into the birds, but she showed excitement. I am a bit behind on training. But she is picking it up quick and is really receptive to praise. I just need to get her to stop eating her own poop. Gracie the English Setter.

My 8 year old lab. Apparently he was a hunting dog before he went blind at 7 years old and when that happened the people just randomly gave him up. Assholes. So we took em in, he may not be able to fetch nothin but when were out shooting he gets all perky and happy
Even fire crackers he gets excited over. Hes a plump one.
