GSP kennels

[Nulle]

I watched an Irish Setter take honers again at AKC show and what a great looking dog but I bet he had know idea what a feather was .
I agree with the standards of the breed being met to a point and that causes me concern when you have one in the litter that is a not met. He or she is the runt so to speak or it may hunt very well but don't hit the confermation standard = what do we do with this little dog ? It has all the great breeding and the other dogs out of the litter work well but it is just different. What now do we do with this dog ? Sell as family pet without papers, have it spayed or nuetered or put a bullet in its head ? If the last one is chosen we are no better then some of the Gray Hound breeders in the 70's that lined the ditches in Colo. with dead dogs when they didn't perform well on the track !
I have seen pictures of GSP+2 dogs and quite frankly I think they are great and the type of GSP that catch my eye but on the other hand I have seen smaller dogs in this breed I do not like but who am I to say one is better for you then the other ?
Check the parents, see if they will give you some names of people that have their dogs, if the price is in your range buy it and have a ball with the dog.
