This jerk actually bred two litters of GSP, without hunting and implies I am not a responsible breeder. Hmmm. Wonder if he had hip certifications? Wonder if he had a hunt test on the dog? I even have more respect for show breeders.

He is a Back Yard Breeder! Funny he didn't mention it in his initial post.

I don't need people skills to breed good dogs, I need dog skills. Funny thing though, hunters seem to think I have great people skills.

I am sorry that you feel that way. There is more to this breed of dogs than hunting. This dog is a splendid family dog with character and personality. I got your name from someone referring you as a reputable breeder. I am sure they will be sorry to hear that you are this unkind. And who are you to tell me to consider another breed. Did you not read that I have been around this breed my whole life, without hunting. 2 sets of parents, 2 litters of 10 puppies each. [emphasis added, back yard breeder] Thank you for your concern, but maybe you should look into some better people skills.

Have a nice day.

To Answer the questions, I am the "reputable" breeder you want a puppy from. Reputable means "reputation". I'm buidling my reputation by selling puppies to HUNTERS who can train high-powered puppies and develop them into great HUNTING DOGS. Selling pups to backyard breederes like you would make me a miserable bastard, not a reputable breeder. If you think you are a reputable breeder, you are not, you are the son of the devil.
