People talk about exercise for a shorthair, I would argue that a well breed shorthair is one of the smartest dogs out there, mental stimulation is as important than physical. If you are soft minded that will abuse you. They are great with kids. I have had 4, 2 currently, our yard is very small, but they do fine. They need time to exercise their mind and body and can be very attached to humans.
recs on a good breeder?
Do you keep the GSP in a kennel while away?

They are very well behaved dogs. Extremely smart. Once trained no reason to kennel them while away for the day if that's what you mean

There are some facebook GSP groups. I think I post a couple of links in another thread not that long ago. There are a few breeders in Louisiana, with that said, I would research what you want in a dog and search kennels. Dogs with more white will probably have more english pointer in them, dogs that are darker will have more true german. The darker dogs tend to not range as far on open ground. Shorthairs have different traits, do your research, find out what your family wants then pic kennel based on what you want.
I kennel till at least 2 years
