Re: Watching Westminster?

I an just as disappointed with the Labs you see in the show ring as any of you. That happened when practically everyone went to the Endlish type dogs that are extremely heavy bodied, short legged, and the thick heavy head. Get your hands on them and you will find they are quite solid similar to a b...

Re: Watching Westminster?

I watch it every year. I hate what's become to some of the breeds. Labs, Golden Retrievers, English Settters and others have split the breeds.

Looking for GSP info.

I'm looking at getting a GSP sometime this year. I hunt Grouse and Woodcock in northern Michigan. I currently run Labs in retriever hunt tests and I'm sure I will want to run the shorthair in pointing dog tests too. I keep my dogs in the house about 1/2 the time so the GSP would have to have an "off...

I find the best litter I can afford. Tell the breeder what I like in a dog, what I'm going to do with the dog. Then I go with the pup the breeder recommends.
