A: Dove adores children and seems to encourage my nephews and nieces rough-housing. Garrett and Anna were in the whelping box as Dove was in labor. I think GSP’s and kids are a wonderful combination. Shorthairs seem tough enough to tolerate rough play, and loving enough to really enjoy kids. Every kid thinks that docked tails are handles, yet never get even a growl. The “A” Litter pups are raised with kids of all ages and have been very good dogs for kids, but they grow fast and topple over the little ones. You need to have the right kind of kid to tolerate a GSP puppy.
On the other hand, if you have small children, maybe you ought to think about your commitment to a hunting dog. Generally whatever the kids are doing will be more important than training your dog or hunting. If your kids are more likely to play soccer than hunt, maybe it’s something to think about.
Hunters need a president who will back them. No guns = No Hunting = No Hunting dogs. Please vote responsibly.
