GSP - What should I expect from the breed? Questions

Hi All

I've been looking at getting a GSP seriously(always liked the breed) for a while now and as it looks like our current circumstances may be changing shortly my OH has given me he go ahead to start finding a breeder and talk to owners of this lovely breed to find out more about living with one.

I'm in Scotland(Fife) and would like to find a Scottish breeder who uses working lines as any dog we get will be worked(my OH does a lot of rough shooting) and i would like the dogs to be health tested too, i have found one kennel with a health tested bitch but they will not be having a litter this year so my search continues. If anyone could help me find a good breeder that would be great

I know what to expect from the breed and i feel one would fit in very nicely to our wee family at the moment and would make a great companion for Tummel.

Thanks
Alyson

Hi

I guess contacting the breed club would be the best place to start? they should have info on breeders and up coming litters.

I do know a very good breeder of GSP's but down here in the south coast, so no much good to you!

Good luck in your search. GSP's are great dogs. I'd like a nice black and white or solid black GSP.

I don't know of any breeders but know of someone in the borders who has a working gsp so will ask him.

Have a look at the breed clubs, you will see some are more work orientated than others, also look at FT results, you may find some particular kennel names more successful than others.
