RE: All around bird dog
One thing you may want to consider; if you're going to do alot of waterfowl and dove, there is going long periods of just sitting and waiting. Some GSP breeders have been breeding them for purely upland game. Hence,firm training is going to required to make them stay still. Pay attention to the parents when selecting from a litter. Like all hunting dogs, some are so wound up and some can be mellow if need be.
