I had a buddy that I duck hunted with who had a GSP. I wondered why the heck he'd get THAT dog for waterfowling, when there are so many other options.
Turns out his girl did just fine on the marshes. In fact, it took to waterfowling like a Labrador, no problems at all. The poor thing sure got mighty cold, though, when the temps dropped and it had to cope with that wet, short hair.
But you couldn't stop the ol' gal from going with my buddy out on the marshes to chase the ducks.
It was a fine dog, even in that application for which the experts probably might recommend another breed.
Real smart, real eager, real friendly, real nice.
Congrats on a very fine, very beautiful animal, GSP!
