Don't know about the breeder but I think you picked a good wife. My wife bought me a mint pre 64 30WCF model 94. 24 years later I still have both.
I've had 2 GSPs. Wonderful dogs. Training required of course. "Quality" depends on their breeding. Recommend the training book
" Training with Mo" ( google) . What breeder are you using?
It's called Fogelhund. Cooks town ontario.

Looking purely at the pictures they look like they breed for the show ring. I do see some hunt test titles though but didn't go through the dogs. Look at the parents of the litter you're getting and see what they have accomplished in the field. I did see a master hunter on there, that is a great accomplishment
they seem heavy to the show side.
I have owned a dog from them for going on twelve years now. We have had no issues with the dog from them. The dog till this day still has a very hard drive for prey. Back in the day when there were still wild birds back in my area ( grouse and pheasant ) we had many memorable days in the field together. Unfortunately due to the decline in wild birds and hunting areas in my neck of the woods we only occasionally go to a pheasant farm and she still has no problems with getting it done. She has stayed in the house her entire life and is quite spoiled. She has a great temperament and for the most part is well behaved. The only issue I can say we have had with her that she is totally frightened by fireworks or thunderstorms but has no issue with gun fire. If I was going to get another pup I would not hesitate to go back to them. Also as a breeder I know that they scrutinize who they send their pups to. This is just my insight from the dog we have from them. Ken
Congrats ! I checked out the website and they have very nice looking dogs with all the necessary health clearances. It's fantastic that they show and also hunt there dogs.Quote:
