Beautiful Dogs, makes me wan't to get one, now that my lab is really old. I had a GWP growing up many years ago, when they were first beginning to show up in the US (about 40 years ago). They were quite sharp then. Ours liked to kill stuff and was an extreme hunter of everything including strangers at our house. She was the best bird dog I have ever hunted with (pheasants and grouse) , would retrieve ducks readily. Our dog was a real bitch and would challenge any dog except really big males, was very protective of house and family. but was a real lap dog for the people in the family. Our dogs specialty was ridding the country side of feral house cats. She had it down to an art, and would take care of some really big tom cats in about 5 seconds if we ran into one while pheasant hunting, she would not point them like some dogs but would simply rush in and grab and shake, often getting a couple of scratches on her nose. From what I have heard the breed is a little less sharp these days.
Have fun, with your friends. they are really great dogs.
When my lab dies I may PM you to find our where you got yours.
