Kirk,
When I bought my German Shorthaired Pointer years ago I did a lot of research and went the North American Versatile Hunting Dog Association route, ended up joining two local chapters, becoming president of one and becoming a life member. NAVHDA has great website with a lot of resources from local chapter information, to the performance testing scores and dog reports and breeder information that you can research on the site and print out. You're in the heart of NAVHDA country and I know there are a good number of NAVHDA GSP breeders located there. My GSP Belle was a great dog on upland birds and waterfowl and was easy to train, especially with the help a local chapter provides. She was also a great family dog. I know that when looking at GSP's they run the gamut of dogs from field trial stock to the Deutsch Kurzhaar (German GSP's) breeders, both of which are represented in NAVHDA. Good luck in your search and decision
