Labs are great dogs, but base on wher I am living, and the hunting that I will be doing the most of, a Lab, IMO is notthe right dog for me.I live in the south, and I have seen labs run themselves almost to death in the warm weather.
I haven't seenso much that says that the GSP are so aggessive. The occasional comentin here, though most folks I have talked to say that theirs has been wonderful n the house and great hunters as well. I used to havea setter and she was a great dog. I have also hunted over GSP's and IMO opinion that is a tough statement to think that setters are better then GSP for a bird dog based on reading. I've talked to several people hat have had both and prefer the GSP. I can't base this on soley what i read (because I have found numerous articles online telling me that the GSP is a no aggresive wonderful dog in the house) but the experience of myself and others.And I have hunted over the GSP's and they far exceded most other dogs I have hunted over (labs, and Gordon Setters. Still a close call on the English Setters)If everything that I read said that they were not good with kids, or were aggersive, I wouldn't even consider it. But I have found more that says they are great family dogs. Now I am trying to get some info from people that have them, or have had both setters and GSP's for that last comparrison.
