RE: Which Dog to Get
I do enjoy shooting waterfowl, that is why i have a strong interest in the GSP. I know tha tthey will hunt upland like a setter. And since I livein the south, i don;'t need a lab or a chessie for the ducks, we just don't have the ice or the need for that kind of dog.
Talked to the breeder today. Looks like he is going to be breeding the GSP's this week. With some luck, pups will be ready right around Christmas time. I come home in April from the desert, so I will get a 4 month started pup. I know, not much is going to be done in 4 months time, but some anyhow.
I don't have the dam's pedigree in front of me right now, but here is the Sire's:
Sire : Old Hickory Smoke
He is a natural backer and retriever. Most of his puppies are the same way. His sire is the Great Champion General Norman and grand sire NFC Rawhide Clown. His dam is Fancy's Wild Child and his grand dam is the famous Fancy White Trash
