Anybody looking for a GSP male to donate some DNA? I have a 3 year old male. I feel bad that he keeps humping his bed. Haha
Great family dog and temperament. He is a good hunter too. Tons of energy.
Located on Westside.

I would suggest you do some health clearances if you haven't already. There are some pretty bad diseases that can occur when breeding is done without knowing the genetics on both dogs. For example your dog could be a carrier of a genetic disease, be 100% free of any symptoms but when bred to another carrier, that shows no symptoms, will have 50/50 odds of having pups that are 100% affected by the disease. You could circumvent that possibility and unsure you are keeping your breed strong and healthy by spending a few hundred dollars in health tests.
The Orthopedic Foundation for Animals has all the information on recommended health tests by breed and can be looked up here: www.ofa.org
