    My gsp has a very strong retrieve . Struggled on geese to start but a bit more work from home and he's never looked back . holds his own against my mates lab ( that's not to shabby ) .

    mine holds his own as far as retrieving goes especaly blind work and he,s not the hardest mouthed ive ever seen but in tight tangle prone ponds he dicks about.deep waters not his favourite either but he does it cos he loves to do it but a long deep water retrieve,blind or otherwise, the equal of what i can get him to do on land or low water would exceed his abilitys i think.

    No...retriever trials are for retrievers...you can't have retrievers and spaniels in a Pointer and Setter trial...that would be interesting...but HPRs can go in the All Breeds Lands and Water trials which involves retrieving...points are combined for both for an aggregate score. There were rumblings about doing away with the Lands and Water but thankfully it has been retained...I reckon more HPRs should get involved in it...I think I will enter my young bitch one day just for the fun of it...

    no because they dont naturaly point but a hpr does naturaly retrieve

    In fact, a GSP, Pointer, or any Versatile as well as spaniels and retrievers can run in a retrieving trial. The All Breeds is now able to be run as a retrieve event if that is what a club wants, and is open to All Breeds.
