Home Forums Birds & Dogs Hunting Dogs What do I need to know about GSPs?

Having owned labs and GSP's in the past. GSp's require a lot more exercise and a bit more high strung. I think a higher prey drive. I took both my labs and GSp's hiking and camping, fishing. The GSP's ranged obviously quite a bit farther out when hiking and hunting ( I always had a back up collar on them) and tended to wander in camp if not tied up. I have witnessed quite a few run away from owners if not trained enough/ correctly and watched. I think tougher than labs to train. . As with any breed good genetics and lots of training are key.

Both very good breeds. And good idea checking in with NAVHDA.
