There are many GSP crosses out there, lab x Gsp, English pointer x Gsp, even spotted a springer x vizsla but I fail to understand the point of these breed crosses and I don't accept accidents as really anything other than irresponsible.

Our Charlie is a Lab x Pointer and is a rescue dog so not sure how he came about, but we love him all the same Hattie is a Labradoodle and an absolutely brilliant girl. I guess it's all down to choice at the end of the day and some people just don't want a pure breed.

Charlie I have shot over and worked with an old lab GSP cross and it was a great dog.

I hope you didn't take my post the wrong way. I was only referring to people cross breeding dogs for fashion and profit with no consideration for the health of the animals or the breeds concerned
