Jashoffa,
I have been gone for a time and just returned. You ask what kind of evidence I have spaniels are better? Well, it is an article of faith for most upland bird magazines. If we read Hup by James B Spencer who has trained a representive dogs of each hunting style to a Master hunter with AKC. Spaniels handle birds which come singlely better than pointing dogs because these birds tend to run out from underneath a pointing dogs point. You accuse me of just having my own experience and then site one dog, yours. We hunt with what we like. Doc E loves pointing labs, I don't. I think a flushing dog WORKING PROPERLY is just as aesthetecally pleasing as a pointing dog. I've worked wide ranging pointers on pheasants and huns and had great success. I just like the kamikazee flush. Just because you like your GSP doesn't mean someone else will.
