By all means a GSP is not only a good buddy but a part of the family. They will be in bed with you in a minute and I mean under the covers if allowed. As they get older they still want to lay in your lap. Leave your recliner and come back and low and behold guess who is looking at you curled up in the chair. You can walk to the kitchen to the basement it does not matter you have a shadow and it happens to have four legs just waiting to please you. I hope I explained it, yes by all means they are your best friend. Most of my dogs they have to be touching you or be able to look at you when resting in the house they do indeed bond, and closely.

Fortunately I get out more than you, and to me I want the best available and that is for upland and waterfowl so far I have yet to be dissapointed. I do spend off season training and testing but come hunting season I get out as much as possible and then some.
