I've hunted over both, English Setters and GSP's. They are both great Bird dogs. i will have the chance in October to shoot bird over both dogs, side by side when I am home on leave to help make a decsion. My biggest concern though is still how does each do in the house. How are they with kids. I know the setter will shed more, and be more work in that respect. I have a 5 year old and my daughter will be just over 1 when I get the puppy.

Thanks again for the input.
