[QUOTE="Montana'eer, post: 3011630, member: 113417"] I've hunted with a guy here that has a pair of Drats- male and female. He also has a GSP. He is a Drat die hard and swears by them. I'd say they are along the same lines of my 2 DK's (more stringent standards than an American GSP). I also have 2 'standard' GSP's. His Drats are very high strung. Hard wired for hunting. My two DK's are the same way. One is an absolute handful but is by far the best in natural ability. So my .02c for whatever it's worth. My 2 run of the mill 'American' GSP's are all around better dogs. They are mellow in the house, and very good in the field. It's like getting a toy with batteries- they are good to go out of the box, requires some training but just great dogs. No biting, no crazed wild eye's, rarely do they run off and self hunt... My DK's are not as mellow- they're a handful. One of them will generally only listen to me. My buddy with the Draats has a similar thing with his male. I'm not in the market for another dog- my two standard GSP's are 11 and 10 respectively and pretty much retired. My two DK's are 6 and 3. But when the time comes I'm getting another GSP, not a Draat, not a DK. [/QUOTE]
