I have always hunted without a dog which is ok. But i am looking into a GSP and was wondering if i should look into a started, finished or a pup any thoghtswould be helpfull. I have had family dogs in the past and dont do well with training them. One more question can you have a good bird dog and family dog all rolled into one. I have talked to some people that said that to have a good hunting dog it cant be a family dog.
Thanks
