[QUOTE="pluckem, post: 132867, member: 843"] I have read similar a few times already so I completely believe what your saying. IMO the importance of the breeder and bloodlines would come into play here. It would be hard to discredit a pups drive or instinct from a litter where there is a long line of NAVHDA Champions. I understand nothing is a guarantee and for the most part what you get out of a dog is dependent on what you put into it. But you can only control what you can control. One of the reasons for leaning toward the Griff is the supposed versatility between field dog and house dog. With a 2 yo daughter at home my bird hunting will be mostly made up of a weekend warrior. Bow hunting will also cut into the bird hunting time. If I was a single guy or lived the life I did in college and early 20's I don't think the Griff would be at the top of the list. So this will be a family addition and I need to account for the wife and daughter's want's as well. Focusing on a pup with a coarse coat, the Griff also seems like it might lead to less shedding. My wife is allergic to some dogs, we cant seem to nail down any rhyme or reason for why some bother her and some don't, besides the correlation to hair shedding. [/QUOTE]
