They calm down some at 1 and more at age 2. They are great around kids but can have separation anxiety. They are great around people and kids, but they are going to want to hunt. They tend to like to hunt thinks alive and quickly loose interest when they die. Birds get first choice, but fur, lizards and dragon flies also work. They will take as much as you can dish out exercise wise and ask for more...

What wick said to the T except that mine is 3 and hasn't slowed down at all.
Mine does not like retrieving dead birds (will do it on occasion) but part of that might also be due to poor training. He also hates sitting still in a duck blind. Sitting in one spot in the outdoors does not compute to GSPs. They have to be moving and have to be sniffing. Does not match up well with my duck hunting affinity.
I will stand by my dogs ability to out last any dog in an endurance competition. Over exaggerating a little maybe but not by much. I swear that guy doesn't get tired.
He's does get separation anxiety and part of that might be due to how closely I bonded with him as a puppy. He and I were inseparable in his first year.
Very smart. Very loyal. Great dog.
Make sure you get a shock collar. Absolutely necessary to check him up or else you'll be like me running around in an open dove field hollering "NOLA!!! COME BAAACCCKKKKK!"
