It’s funny. Every time you see an owner of a GSP or GWP, the immediate response is sympathy. “Oh, how are you holding up? Are you okay?”
I have a 3-year old GSP, and I love that dog more than any of the many Labrador retrievers that I have had. HOWEVER, she is a tough dog to care for. I knew going in (and you know also) that they are the highest energy breed and the must have a “job.” At least I thought I knew. It is way more than you can plan.
The dog must be professionally trained and you must commit an hour per day of intense exercise. After about 9 months we sent our dog to Dog Pond Kennels in Thomasville for a month (not cheap) and she still wears her e-collar during daylight hours because she will go after any bird, squirrel, rabbit, deer, etc. It may be this particular dog, but her prey-drive is unbreakable, we just need her to come back after the hunt is over.
Our yard is 3/4 acre, which would be minimum size; 20 acres would be perfect.... And she is on schedule to make annual visits to the emergency vet in January: fractured skull + gaping wound in leg from a car, chased a deer through barbed wire and sliced open chest. She will be inside this January.
My dog is so pretty and her temperament is much kinder and more gentle than any breed I know, but her energy level and curiosity can be very intimidating to people.
I say an emphatic “yes” but prepare yourself as best you can.
