One of the smartest and socially dispositioned breeds I have ever owned. My last pointer was an Ameican Brittany and the next one most assuredly will be too.
I would recommend starting off with a pup, and take a long hard look at the pups and not just the pedigrees. I bought three pups from different stock with the intent of keeping only one. The one I did keep was the only dog of the three that didn't come from registered stock.
