How GSP do in cold water waterfowl and cold snow upland? I’m in between a pudlepointer and a gsp. I want a dog that is very versatile. With uplands and waterfowl and both breed are great at both but I do hunt cold-weather a lot and was wondering how the gsp handles that. Thank you.
I asked this question of some breeders. I was told a GSP can hunt waterfowl but not in of a cold environment as a Lab. I am from Oklahoma so they would probably do ok on a lot of days. Curious if Kat and Ethan agree.
Yes definitely agree! They can definitely do it, but aren’t built to withstand the prolonged cold water retrieves. A vest definitely helps and if you get a GSP with enough drive and desire they wouldn’t quit on you but it would be tough on them. And we have to be our dogs advocates and look out for them and what’s best for them!

I didnt have birds and my Brittany grew up a great bird dog.
Thanks for watching!
Kind of ironic that the country with all the guns call gun dogs 'bird dogs'.
I see the irony here!
Pigeon looks pretty dead
