GSP club works a rescue group that always has a pile of gsp dogs looking for homes because folks can't take the high energy that comes with one. Contact WA gsp or the Seattle pure bred rescue.

You are doing a disservice to years of strict breeding by doing this, breeders litteraly working for years to keep a breed a certain way and now you want to make a mix breed?. They are not in demand and from what I have seen the results are usually far from good.

So what happens when these dogs do not sell or worse off that you can not even give them away?
X2  :yeah:

X3 don't weaken the gene pool.

Well I can see the designer aspect, heck I tried to GIVE away setter pups I had from field tested winning parents and couldn't get them gone. Be full well prepared to feed the ones that don't go elsewhere. I had 9, sold 2, gave 3 away and still have 4 left. They are 5. I know a guy who just shoots his leftovers.

He's old school, that's how it was done back in the day. Release them, those holding point lived, those not. Got shot. Did wonders for the lines.

Love all the shorthairs I've been around, maybe a dozen in my life. All but one has hunted. None have cost more than 400. I'd send my chihuahua after birds before I paid 900 for a shorthair. I also shoot big game animals with a 300 dollar rifle. Breed them how you want. Just might out hunt a papered shorthair :twocents:

Ha. I guess you haven't been around high quality dogs.
