GSP line traits

[Allamakee1]

Just wondering people's opinions on the different GSP lines. Clown/Hustler/Slick/etc... What dogs were known for producing certain types of pups? Good pets vs Race horses...any other traits.

I got a clown/slickerfemale pup and she runs all the time. Two speeds either cuddly/sleeping or 100+mph. Everyone I talked to says usually something similar.

I have a slick bred pup with moon on the top, and she is a very very natural dog. Not a huge running dog yet but I am hoping she gets there.

I have a Prairie Wind pup that will be a year old in July. She is clean in the kennel. Easy to house train. She is friendly to a fault, very biddable, ran big at an early age but is smart enough to adjust, lots of pointing instinct and a very long nose and knows how to use it. One of the best GSP's I have ever had at this age. She has a flaw of two but mostly all good. She is not really interested in retrieving but that can be fixed.

She is basically line bred Radbach and Grief.

My first was out of Hustler lines and she was short and bulky. She could go all day at a decent pace and would run through anything. Great natual retriever. Tough dog and great pet. First dog-had to put down at 14, don't think I will ever have a "better" one.

My second has clown/dixieland/desert dutch lines and she is tall and skinny. She can go all out (very fast) for about half a day and then she gets tired. I think she would have made a great trial dog if she had a different owner. She has a better nose and pointing instinct, but not as much of a natural retriever. Very good inside family pet as well.

Just my personal experience.

My now first GSP has clown/dixieland and she is tall and skinny, she ran all out but never tired as she turned around 5yrs. she started to pace and last season at 9 can hunt 3 days with few breaks in between....great nose stylish on point, but not much of a natural retriever. And like yours good in the house as well. Mostly white in color which I like for the field.
