Google 6r's kennels from Grinnell, Iowa. I know, I know...its not California. But dogs can be shipped or rides can be found. If you want one of the most athletic, intelligent, people pleasing GSP's available, then check out Chris's dogs. Plenty of pups to choose from. These are great dogs! Pure and simple as that. I have a 2 yr old from him that is an eceptionally smart dog, learns extremely fast, out hunts anything we've ever had her with, is every thing my wife and kids wanted in a dog. And she's my best friend. See the testimonials for 6r's on Gunbreeder.com.
