John, The new one is a GSP, a first for me. I've mostly had Pointers for birds. Max was a "hybrid" Lab. He and the also gone Pointer, Ringo, made a great team in the MI covers: Ringo going wide with a beeper, and Max a close working, deliberate flusher. Max was the best "dead" finder I've had. I have hunted with some really fine Springers, especially those of Bob DeSanto's. His bitch , Star, had a great feid trial record and you could depend on her the find and flush a grouse or woodcock up in your part of the country.
