Nice looking dog. Hard to tell but is he a black and white rather than a liver and white?
Good luck on the tests.
I got my 5th GWP this Jan. (realize some consider a VDD different than a GWP) I don't do any competitions only hunt my dogs on birds. Also enjoy their companionship as they live in our house.
It is a fun time watching your pup mature and figure things out. Enjoy the adventure.
