Home Forums Birds & Dogs Hunting Dogs German Short-haired Pointers - Comment?

I hunt GSP's in all weather here in Nebraska from September through the end of January or from 80 to sub zero GSP's can tolerate all better than say setters or pointers. That one GSP got cramped and chilled seems to me to be more a sign of not enough work or stretching- i.e. being left in a kennel without proper supervision, rather than a bash on an entire breed. They aren't December and January duck dogs true, they aren't shrinking violets either. All around tougher dogs than than setters of any type or pointers

but if you hunt in especially thorny bush or cold water environment, drathaars could work better than kurzhaars.
