Mine is mellow around the house, especiall for a GSP, but she is a hunting machine. Pat Murphy at NW Performance dogs has worked with several of Scott's dogs-get ahold of him and see what he tells you. I know others that have pups from him and I have not seen one yet that is not a great hunter. Just my opinion.

Close personal hunter/ family companion dog or field trial machine; some are swimmers and retrieve and some don't. We are looking at breeding our bitch this spring but don't have a dog picked out yet although we have a short list and just need some testing/ lineage confirmations before proceeding. The club listings will help get some conversations started just make sure you have hips, elbows and eyes tested. Try to meet the grand sire/dame as well as the parents tells you a lot about the breedings.

Good luck and good breed pick ;)

I am looking for a good female family dog. Im looking for a dog that has the stamina to run chukar all day and pheasant for five days straight. Due to my location i like a dog that hunts closer than further but not that importany to me. A dog that has some desire to retrieve would also be nice. Instict stamina and eager to please are my biggest requirements. Thank you!
