can you get beeper that only beeps say every 30 seconds..
that would be nice for my lab in heavy brush and me and might keep another hunter from shooting at my dog for coyote...

30 seconds is a long time at GSP speed! One thing I didn't mention is the destructive side if they don't get enough exercise. Obviously it varies from dog to dog, but mine will start chewing on things if he misses one walk. I've never seen a breed with such high energy, not even a Border Collie. He seems to love running just for the sake of running.

No sure about that. I don't think that either Dogtra nor Tritronics makes one, but you could check the other manufactureres. Out of curiosity, why every 30 seconds vs 5-10 seconds?

i only saw 2 GSP hunting pheasants and all were covering territory WAYYYYYYYYYYYY,out in front of owners..
man, what a dog for covering territory..
i would put a GPS on one of those babies if i was hunting nor. central pa stategamelands.
i would be scared to death with GSP in the type of hunting for grouse i do here..
i want a dog no farther away from me than 30 yds max and 1 that looks for me..
if GSP can do that, i want one....

I was raised with English Setters, so for a bird (pointing) dog, I'll always have a soft spot for a setter.
I have water dogs now.. as I live by the coast and not in the mountains... so Goldens do me well now.
