Well to be honest, my main reason for getting it is that I love the breed, but because I have had birds, I fancied a gsp for falconry, but I also wanted like an all-round dog. I have been hesitant about getting my shotgun certificate because it seems quite a palava. But I have applied now, so I should be sorted, Fortunately i have been blessed with about 300 acres of land in my garden, so there is plenty for him to do. And by the way, I am fascinated by the old method of netting, I also have heard of some people across the pond using catapults!.
