I have a friend that has a SM what a great dog! She is a real sweetheart. But like any good hunting dog they do need a lot of personel attention. This particular one will stand or sit for hours with her head on your lap just to get some attention; ear scratch head or chin scratch or please throw the retrieving dummy. In the field she has always shown exceptional drive and eagerness.
If I were to get anouther dog this would br the one and I have had many. GSPs, Poodle pointer, Jack Russell ( this one would rather retrieve than eat) Lab etc.
Good fortune in finding what you want.
