I have a 9mo GSP that is going very well on upland birds. She is my first adventure into training a pool noting dog and I have loved the journey. I also have a 5 year ol lab that is a Master hunter. I know some guys use GSps to duck hunt but I have never seen it. I have seen some Springers at retriever hunt tests but never a GSP. I have statutes some yard work drills that I do with my lab and I am impressed at how well she is doing. Especially with her being able to train with my lab. I am just curious how many guys have trained their GSPs to be duck dogs also and what issues they have had.
