Talk to Rich Anderson (COB) he's been hunting GSP's in Michigan woods for longer then I've known him. He can probably answer your questions

I have trained and owned both. two completely different animals, albeit for the same hunting purpose. I love both but probably wouldn't take the gsp visiting at a nursing home. Both are great athletes but the shorthair can be a one man dog. Setters seem to be a every mans dog. gsp don't shed much and setters do.

They're all good. And better to talk bad about another man's wife than his bird dog. I've had Setters and GSP's. Loved both but at the end of the day I'm a GSP man. I hunt them and field trial them. Down here in the South the GSP seem's to handle the heat a little better. And there's nothing worse than trying to get cockleburrs and begga lice out of that setter hair. I really don't think you can go wrong either way, as long as to stick to good blood lines.

Also, Setters seem a little slower to mature and in the field trial world they are not required to retrieve.

And one last thing, if I was getting a setter I think I'd want one of those Twombly's.

I've sent out emails to the folks who have Grace's puppies - they're about 1 1/2 years old now. Folks are sending me pics of their dogs and without naming names I'll post pictures on a new thread. OMGoodness are they beautiful! .
