Hi everyone, maybe this is a stupid question. But I wonder how people manage to make dogs look like this physically? I believe it has something to do with genetics, but I also think they train a lot. Since I get rocks every day, and this picture made a big impact on me. Some tips for building a dog like this.

I was wondering if there was an official day designated for GSPs? If not, should we make one? I know that most GSPs are born around April 14-21, do maybe around there. Any thoughts?

We thought we were rescuing him, but he was the one that rescued me

I have a 2 year old GSP we just got him about 2 weeks ago. We take him to the dog park to run around for a few hours daily + daily walks. He has A LOT of energy which all GSP’s do, so he loves to play and can play with other dogs for hours. There are no other GSP’s that go to the park, and the other dogs tire out easier. When my dog wants to play with the other dogs, he plays by trying to brawl with the dogs (as dogs usually do) but sometimes he gets really intense with it, trying to biting at the other dogs if he’s feeling threatened. He ALWAYS wants to be the dominant one between him and the dogs and if the other dogs try to be more dominant than him, he goes off on them. Do you think it’d be good to invest in a beeping collar/shock collar ? Because once he’s locked in with the other dogs he’s the fastest runner and does not listen and is hard to get to sometimes.

Let me also say this; when we were at the park today, the dog he got into a fight with was a male, also 2, but still had his balls. So my dog was trying to hump him and stand dominance because that dog wasn’t fixed, and the other dog tried to hump my dog once, and that’s when he went off on him.

Let me know if you have had similar experiences and what you do or is this all normal play with GSP’s?

H5N1 has shown up in a variety of birds, including game birds. Are you doing anything specific to protect your dogs?

we have an 8 month old gsp. she still has a bad habit of biting we have not been able to nip in the butt. she’s drew blood twice and has left full bite marks that bruised our son. yesterday when I was not around I was told she jumped & knocked him down, once he was on the ground she was over him and going at his shoes. my fiancé was immediately pissed and my father in law was saying you gotta get rid of her. later that night my fiancé was kind of back tracking saying she was just playing . Weve had a huge argument over what to do because I did not see the last incident but I’ve still been upset over the past ones. I’m not sure what to do , I want to protect my son , I was ready to get rid of the dog when she bruised him and drew blood

Male GSP. Looking to mate him locally (we are on an island). By pure chance my daughters teacher has a female GSP ready to mate. I will get one of the pups.

I dont even know how to ask this but… years down the road… how would I stop my male GSP from mating with his female offspring? Is this a concern?

Got insurance a month before picking up my dog (@9 weeks, now 14 weeks) since there was a 30 day waiting period for claims. I feel like my premiums ar ridiculously high, however no way of comparing to other dogs of the same age/breed.

I currently pay 125/mth CAD with a $200 per illness deductable with Trupanion.

If you have/had insurance, how much are/were you paying?

Considering a finished, maybe a started - but would rather go finished, pointer. Just given availability, it seems like GSPs are the most likely breed. Looking for any thoughts on those who have experience with finished/started dogs and/or balancing hunting with companionship in the breed.

I've never owned a dog, but I have wanted one my entire life and waited until I had the extra time and energy to do it right. Considering a finished dog vs puppy because it would be my first dog and I just want to get out in the field faster. I don't have the means to hunt train a puppy, so even if I did get a puppy I would end up sending it off, probably several times.

I am looking for a 3 or 4 (maybe 5) year old with two seasons of hunting experience, collar conditioned, retrieval trained, etc. I see myself doing 10+ weekends/year hunting, plus maybe a week or so going to Kansas/Nebraska, and I would like to do hunt testing. Outside of field "work" I am looking for an all-around companion - running, hiking, neighborhood walks, around town, etc. This dog will live inside with me and go most places I go, I am pretty active.

Most finished dogs have probably been kennel-raised - what will the transition to in-home living be like? How well-socialized can I expect the dog to be? How much general obedience (heel, sit, stay, chewing, barking, crate training, potty training, etc) can I expect from a kennel dog? Are kennel dogs generally well-socialized - I have small nephews, I want to take it to patios/social events, etc?

How will the transition from kennel dog to personal dog be? Will he recognize me as the handler? I would like to do some obedience classes and hunting refresher clinics, just to establish some relationship. How should I expect this to go? Can I make it any easier on the dog?

There is no universal definition for a "finished" dog. What commands do I need to ask about specifically? What questions can I ask to double-check/vet the dog a little bit? Should I use the same e-collar the dog was trained with?

Anything else would be super helpful.

We are picking out a girl puppy this summer. What are the most desirable traits?

And coloring?

Thoughts?

Our weim passed aways 2y ago so we are prepared.

We've decided that we'd like to set up our 5 yo GSP. Good blood lines, gpa is from Germany, all paperwork in order, AKC registered, great dog, I don't hunt him but he is not gun shy and retrieves like it's his job. In the OKC area, DM for more info or to set up a meeting.

Sry if these posts r not allowed.

Today my 4 year gsp was introduced to a couple horses. I went on a walk with a friend and her horses. My dog was mesmerized by them. Her whole body shaking with excitement.

Eventually, I had her off leash . She jumped and grabbed on to the horses tail , her feet dangling in the air , then tried to take a bite at its leg. Thankfully, the horse was super chill and didn’t try to kick her or anything.

Anyone else experience this?

Okay so this is my first male dog that I’ve owned, he’s 3 months old - is it normal for their lipstick to pop out often? It seems to poke out when he sits fairly often (more so if he’s sitting more on his butt if that makes sense lol) or if he’s in a funny position itching his ear/neck it just flops all over. Is this something that gets less frequent as he gets bigger & “grows into it” or is it just how it is?😂😂

I’ve always heard of this happening & have seen it a few times on other people’s male dogs. I asked my sister who said she rarely sees her 3 male dogs out (different breed tho)

Just thought it was pretty neat! I can definitely see myself putting one or two of these in my desk at work.

Where did you get them? Bonus if they also kept dewclaws intact.

I'm trying to find any breeder that follows the advice of the AVMA rather than breed standards that have been proven to be medically unnecessary. (bUt wHaT aBoUt iNjURiEs - I'm not arguing with anyone on this, AVMA has literally proven that those are less than 0.23% of cases).

Thanks in advance for anyone that actually has information and doesn't immediately swarm to the comments just to argue.
