My GSP is getting up there in years, so I am looking for a female pup that can learn from my old dog. If anyone knows of a breeder in western PA, eastern half of OH that will have pups on the ground soon, please let me know.

Thanks in advance - John

Non personally, but my cousin got a pup from them this past year and she's doing great. My cousin is what I like to call a subdivision outdoorsman. So im sure it's at least 75% genetics and natural talent, not so much training experience. Haha

I have to agree, beaver. Many years ago I got involved in wing shooting and decided I wanted a bird dog. Bought a Springer (last of and runt of the litter), took it home, and realized I had no idea of how to train a bird dog. All I did was teach it basic obedience commands and take it out to the field as much as possible, which in those days was a lot! That dog went everywhere with me. He turned out to be not only a terrific hunter, but a great pet as well. A heart as big as all outdoors, and wonderful companion and friend. I still miss him.

Thanks Misdirection. I have gotten both of mine for $350-400. These were all just lucky finds of the last pup in a litter, both were/are solid dogs as I'm learning. That seems like a reasonable price to me for a shorthair with a pedigree.
My buddy has Shorthairs and used to sell pups for $400, pick or runt of the litter. However, the price of Shorthair poker has gone up. It's kind of like Labs used to be before the breed got "overbred" or whatever you call it, and bloodlines got diluted. Especially if you're talking Shorthairs with a solid, established bloodline and a couple of Field Champions in the mix. And if you think Shorthair breeders are picky just try buying a Viszla! Man! Some of those folks are way out on the fringe!
