Re: Which spaniel in your opinion has the best scenting ability?

Pretty much equal and adequate. Hunt drive will be the difference.

Re: 4 month GSP size concerns

Not all GSP's are larger framed. I have a male that doesn't weigh 50lbs and a female puppy that is going to be smaller than him. Follow the feeding recommendations for the food and you will be fine.

Re: 9mo Old GSP Training

Never give a command to a puppy you are not in a position to enforce. If they don't obey, enforce it every time. Consistency is key. Get a check cord so you are able to get ahold of the dog and enforce commands.

Do it with a check cord. Keep the dog moving once it gets the bird. They won't chew it while their feet are moving. As soon as they pick it up call them and keep the feet moving until you can get the bird.
