Re: 4 yr old GSP- defiant/aggressive behavior
Sounds like a typical male shorthair who's never had any training on how to behave. I would not beat, punch, roll or otherwise physically punish the dog. I would work him on high value rewards for HERE, KENNEL and LEAVE IT. I would suggest you talk to a retriever trainer who knows what he is doing a...

Re: I think i've messed up big time
If both are registered, you can register the pups. If both parents are physically normal, then the pups should be fine. Deafness would be a concern for me, considering the breed. If you don't mind having her spayed, there are vets that will terminate a pregnancy through spaying.
