He is in Seymour Texas and breeds the types of GSP's that would best suit you I believe, based on you requirements.

My 2 1/2 yr old llewellin setter beat out 2 NFCs and a handful of FC's in Open Gun Dog Stake (retrieving) at Sauvie Is, OR. In hot temps and humidity to get 4 more pts towards his FC - he needs 3 more pts now. :D
