RE: German Shorthair
congrats on your new gsp's i think you will enjoy them.
jashoffa i would have to disagree with you on the bloodlines, don't get me wrong you are capable of getting a good dog out of parents that hunt good, but your chances greatly increase of getting a good dog when you can consistently go back and trace good bloodline. good breeders consistantly improve the line by weeding out non desirable traits, this is not usually done with the casual breeder who has two dogs that hunt good.
champion bloodline is that, proven dogs in the field. if they didn't prove themselves in the field, they wouldn't earn the title.
