Re: Next dog
Welcome back!
I can only say that I've had 2 GSP and both were affectionate, had plenty of energy and endurance,
Not short haired, but my best dogs in your 3 categories were setters.

I have wonderful memories of fishing and hunting with my Dad too. One day we were fishing for trout in a small stream ; I was maybe 7. He was having no luck. I walked down the stream and managed to scoop up a beautiful trout in my quart basket. He was not impressed. LOL

worried about my dog falling through the ice. If you have no ice, I see nothing wrong with training in the winter.
