I have read from another of your posts you were planing on getting a GSP. A friend of mine has one up at a bird farm and he likes it alot. He also has some teenage kids at home. They all get along fine. He has a Brittany there as wellwith no problems.

I do not go by everything I have read either, if a GPS fits your needs go for it. I also know if I went by everything I have read or listened to what everyone has told me I would not have been hunting with the Irish Setters either. As a good Irish is very easy to train, loyal, non agressive, and has been in the history books of upland hunting. Also noted to be able to hunt upland as well as waterfoul. The bottom line is you can get out of your dog what the breeders or trainers put into it, providing the dog has the capabilities. So IMO when getting any breed of hunting dog research is a must.. Good Luck to you on your GPS...
