Hi everyone, the wife has approved getting another dog. I was worried she was going to push for a lap dog but to my surprise she agreed on a GSP. So the hunt begins for a good breeder. Does anyone know a breeder or a reputable place to get my new little buddy. Also we already have a choc lab about 5 years old, wondering how the 2 will get along.
Are you sure she is thinking about the same GSP(George St. Pierre) your thinking of ?Quote:

JK!
Good luck on your search!
Gundogbreeders.com or check GSP club in Ontario.
Had a lab previous to my GSP. GSP may have a much higher energy level. Will be a great addition to family. Should get along fine with your lab, mine has a great time with my sisters and others she plays with.
No GSP Ontario Club anymore just the National Club.
O.P.:
Go to the "gundog forum". Scroll down to "Dogs for Sale"
Have a look at these member names:
Fuzznut : GWP pups

Also talk to on vom dufenshmirtz and Ugo, members on here.
I don't do GSP, only Small Munsterlander, but thanks, Sharon.
I know little about GSP, but I can say this - there's a LOT of variability in GSP (or DK) from line to line, breeder to breeder.
So I'd say - make sure you like the sire and dam, hopefully see pups from previouos litters. Go hunting with them, make sure they suit your lifestyle and hunting style. Standard advice, really, but as I said - a lot of variety in GSP, less in DK.
Sorry. I knew that. I see that German kennel name and think GSP sometimes. I got it now.:)
Good choice. Might want to contact NAVHDA groups to source breeders.
Greetings mightyhunter :)
Congrats on obtaining the Boss's approval for obtaining a new GSP.
It will get along with your older lab without an issue, but the lab will be totally annoyed with this bundle of energy!
My GSP came to me in late November and he was already four months old. He is almost seven months old now and quite a HANDFUL if you know what I mean. He requires a lot of running and lots of attention too! When I take him to the park he plays GREAT with dogs of all ages, sizes, and breeds. He is not intimated by any dogs and he is not mean to them either.
I didn't get my dog from the breeder myself, a close friend of mine did that. So I can't tell you much about the breeder except for he doesn't do it on a regular basis, he is not cheap and he is near the east end of Ontario!
If you like dogs, you'll like the GSP. I hope you find a great one for you soon. Good Luck. :)
The breeder where I picked up my pup last year is currently breeding the same two dogs with pups expected in the Spring. FYI they are located in Michigan about an hour from the Sarnia border. PM me for more details if you are ineterested.

If I were looking for a hunting GSP I would look to DK breeders, but I am partial to the German breeding and testing systems. If that isn't of interest to you I would look at NAVHDA associated breeders, and do some homework on them. Check references, and look into the performance of previous litters that the sire and dam have produced, NAVHDA makes all their records public on their website. IMO you have a far better chance of getting a solid all around hunting dog if you buy from a breeder that is affiliated with either system and takes the testing and performance of their litters seriously.
