Hi, I've had my GSP for four weeks and he is twelve weeks old. He is my first gundog. All the previous dogs have been used for hunting wild pigs, mainly mastiff/ wolfhound crosses. I cannot wait to try him on quail and ducks. Here in Australia we are in the midst of a drought, so I do not think it will be a good season. One can only hope for more rain. By next june I will be taking him for pheasants and partridges. Happy Hunting.
