German Setters
 

A New Breed ordo you call it a Drop?
I have Bred a GSP To An English Setter
Pups will be Readyby September
get a Short Hair with Go or A Setter that Retrieves
Either Way This will Produce a Bird Dog

RE: German Setters
 

What made you decide to make that breeding? Just wondering.

Seriously,
I am not sure, But i Have seen alot of Drops that have been really good bird dogs.
In the past i have worked for Professional Handlers/Trainers that have had some of the top dogs in the country. (i will not mention names)
They had Stud Dogs that Bred anything that was willing to pay the stud fee
I have seen Brittanys bred to Setters and the off spring win a Brittany All-Age Nat. Championship.
German Shorthairs bred to English Pointers (didn't keep up with em)
Irish Setters bred to English Setters and i know of one that is winning in Open Shooting Dog now.

I Guess I wanted see what it would produce, i have never seen one or heard of it, evenas a mistake.

Its more likely one or both parents were exceptional. Or the owner couldn't find a suitable mate within the breed, ie. exceptional dog but couldn't find a worthy mate so lets go outside the breed.

You may get a dog that won't retrieve and loves to chase bunnies.

How about a Bluetick hound and a Lab cross? You will get a dog that will tree geese.:D

I think I am Going to Keep all of these and see what they do.
Might even Breed a Boykin into the Mix or A Lab
That will Make a Lab Point
