RE: English Setter or German Shorthair?
I have hadvery good success with my GSP and would recommend to everyone. Jay is right about being family dog. We got lucky cause ours is like a kid, but a couple others i know are not good family dogs at all (they hunt very well thought). Anotherthought about the temp, i usually hunt mine in cold weather and she does great and it never bothers her. They do need a good run everyday or they can be a pain.
Good luck
