My father-in-law has owned a number of GSP's over the past 30 years and every one seems to be better than the last...
I decided to follow suit and bought a solid liver colored male pup two years ago.
A well trained GSP can't be beat for hunting chuckars in my opinion IF you have the time to exercise them REGULARLY. I am talking twice a day regularly. The other trick I think is to get a female. My male is so stubborn and ranges so far that I had to purchase a shock collar. The shock collar has made a tremendous difference in the dogs awareness and concentration, but my male is still nowhere near as easy to hunt behind as the females my father-in-law owns. I will have to give my pup a couple more years and see how he turns out, but lets just say that I will be in good shape after chasing him up through chukar country.
