Please let me know how she does. I am getting some flack about wanting to Waterfowl my GSP.
Thanks, I'll post on this thread again... and let you know how Molly performs. Hopefully, we'll get some ducks and be able to post some pics.
As for GSP Waterfowling... I've heard from people who say their GSP can do everything a lab can do, to... "I'll never take my GSP out again."
One thing for sure... Molly does NOT live up to what most labs can do in waterfowl retrieving. But I think she will get the job done.
Here in W. Oregon, we usually have mild conditions 40s to 50s... and we have a neoprene vest for Molly too. Hopefully we will be able to keep Molly warm. I'm not sure what we will do when the temps drop to 39 and below. We'll see how she does in early season... maybe have to buy a heater for cold days.
The GSP whinning is another matter. As you know... GSPs LOVE to run. So waiting in a blind is usually counter intuitive for this breed. We bought a training collar that vibrates and had great success with stopping the whinning and steadiness in the blind.
Sincerely,
MOTR
