Brad helped me with questions, took me out hunting with the dogs, and all around nice guy to work with. I thought I would always be a Lab guy until I got my Braque.Eric Muellerhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08437328997181030496noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-423815608168342684.post-6882666917784739762012-09-19T23:08:26.663-07:002012-09-19T23:08:26.663-07:00As someone who lives in Southern California I main...As someone who lives in Southern California I mainly hunt upland game birds. We normally hunt pheasant fairly hard for a couple hours, working mainly alfalfa fields, and need a dog that can keep a good sturdy pace. I'm leaning towards the Pyrenean but am wondering if anyone thinks I should look more into the Gascony... any insight would be appreciated.

Visually they run different, and my hearing perception is that the BFPs are quieter runners than GSPs. BFP stamina due in large part to efficient running. Previous comments on Part 1 implied the BFPs are close working dogs. My BFP and others I've seen are not foot dogs and will get out 100+ yards to find grouse but check-in and throttle back to <50 yds when bird scent in area. I wouldn't say BFPs take to duck search work as readily as GSPs, but they eventually translate field work to marsh.Daniel Gehringhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00555512287641607665noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-423815608168342684.post-47964095588220941582012-01-24T12:51:15.258-08:002012-01-24T12:51:15.258-08:00Now you have me interested.

Would recommend the breed to anyone lucky enough to find a breeder that might have a pup available.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
