GSP Breeders

gsp-breeders

The GSP breeders was developed as a hunting dog and today he still excels in that capacity. This is an adaptable breed with keen scent senses and intelligence for any job you want to teach them. He loves an active family and requires minimal grooming to keep his short coat in condition.

This is a powerful dog that should cover some ground but without coarseness. They are by the standard 55-70 pounds and 23-25 inches in size. Proper bone is important – too heavy alters the picture while too light alters function.

The breed is very popular in Europe and has the highest registration of pointing breeds of any gun dog in Germany. It is a hunt, point and retrieve gun dog of strong instincts and persistence, proving invaluable to the upland game hunter.

The GSP breeders club of America still values those dogs that can get the national championships in field trials as well as conformation. Indeed a large portion of the site is on field trials, hunting tests, gun dog information, versatility dogs and, of course, show dogs. He is a faithful friend and thrives on human companionship but also can be very happy as an outside dog. This is a dog who does well as a kennel dog provided he is given plenty of exercise.

If GSP breeders this is an important consideration to test for as well as understanding dominant and recessive breeding. Breeding a carrier to a normal dog produces half normal and half carriers. However breeding carrier to carrier produces half carriers, ¼ normal and ¼ that will have the disease. Breeding carrier to affected increases to ½ the pups that will get the disease while the other ½ carries it. Clearly, breeding carriers only to normal dogs is important as well as making educated decisions on breeding.

Temperament is what ensures the usefulness of the GSP breeders and since this comes from good breeding it is essential to find a good and reputable breeder. With a bad temperament these dogs are a disaster. They are highly territorial and will know and recognize their people and place by about six months of age. This is when their protective loyalty starts to show itself!

However, responsible GSP breeders have been careful to preserve the breed’s integrity and this dog remains a true hunting dog with little change over the years in structure or soundness. There have been some problems with hip dysplasia but the breed in general is long-lived and healthy.
