I've been looking into a german shorthair and just wondering what info you fine 'gents may be able to offer. There's not great bird hunting around me, but a little is available. Are they a good dog for a pet and hunting dog?
Any specific things to look at when selecting a pup?
How are they in general as pets? (i.e. temperment, good with kids yes or no?)
Thanks guys.
you need to exercise them a lot,but what dog does not need it.
only thing that baffles me,of all programs on tv ,you very seldom see a GSP as dog they use in hunting shows..
most are
setters
labs
pointers
beagle
blue tick.....
you dont see brittanys,springer spaniels,gsp..
me, i like LAB but GSPhunts different than LAB..
if you can, go to hunting club in your area and watch a GSP hunt and how it acts and talk to owner..
