[QUOTE="pluckem, post: 132877, member: 843"] Question to you and DSlayer. Of the Griffs you have seen do this, was it a shock to the owner? Did the pup have the bloodlines of dedicated field dogs and come from a selective breeder who focuses on the traits required to succeed in the field? And did the owner put in the required work? I am really curious to know. In my mind, I have convinced myself this can be avoided with the proper research and pup selection. There are far more labs in this world that would prefer to sit on the couch or sniff at heels then there are rock stars in the field... but I think anyone would be wrong to think they can't be one of the best bird dogs out there. There is the flip side to this as well. I know of 3 different acquaintances that had GSP's that had way to much energy to be a nice house dog. One guy gave it away, another lived on a hobby farm so it became more of an outdoor dog with a big outdoor kennel than the living room pet. And the other suffered through it. [/QUOTE]
