hi- i bought a black and white gsp from a breeder. ive never had one, i have a liver and white one now. the pup arrived yesturday, bred out of a field champion. right out of the box, when i saw this dog, it looked like a pointer with his tail cut off.he has that bulldog stance, with the high butt and shoulders, and sloping back, not the nice clean straight lines of a shorthair. he has the bullfrog face with the droopy lips that hang low over the chin, his skin is pink, he has pink foot pads, and he has a 3/4 inch diamator pink spot just above his nose.

 am i crazy? paranoid? i want to be carefull and not accuse anyone of wrong doing, i do know this fellow breeds pointers too. this dog has a straght up pointer head. i wanted to ask some of you experianced breeders about some of these charactoristics before i spoke to the dog breeder first. i can send pics to you if you want to take a look at him. i just dont want to mention the breeders name, as im not looking to trash anyone, i just want to make sure im getting what i thought  i was buying- thank you.

huckleberry,
Email me the pix and ped.
I can tell you this, a Black Shorthair should not look any differently than a Liver Shorthair as far as conformation. Will I be able to tell you it's a cross? Not really, but I can certainly give you an educated opinion.

Money will buy a fine dog, but only kindness will make him wag his tail.

Send for a dna kit, and ask the breeder to do the same on the mother and father, if it is on the up and up, there should be no problem with your request (actually hopefully the parents are already on file, make everything easier).

if you think it is a pure pointer with a docked tail check the feet.

Pointers have upland feet.  GSP's have bigger versatile webbed feet.  But if it is a cross the webbing is dominant.

Go ahead and post just pics of all angles.   May not give any answers.

But we can tell you he's a cute whatever, and some other opinions.
