So my GSP is 3 months, drilling hard on basics, recall, crate training, fetch, smelling trails of rabbit scent, chasing live pigeons. My goal is to have him be an all around hunter capable of finding, pointing and retrieving small game but also ideally hunting larger game with me as well. I’ve hunted hogs twice now and love it want to do it every day. Any tips guidance knowledge is greatly appreciated. Would love for him to be able to bay hogs for me one day. Thank you

I also have a gsp, great dogs but definitely need a job and lots of activities or their energy can cause behavior problems. Mine is great on birds, and comes along bear and lion hunting. He will go with the hounds for only 400-500 yards and comes back to me and then back to the hounds but won’t stay in the race unless it’s close. They are very capable multi purpose dogs but depends on the individual dog for sure.
