Pointers will excel overs a wired hair hunting out on the praires. That just they way they are bred. Personally for me I take my dogs fishing out on boat, hiking off leash and sometimes to dog parks to socialize when young. Hunt water fowl in sub freezing temps, hunt a lot of late season when the snow can be deep. Be tough to do that with a pointer.

Owned 3 GSP's din my life . All great dogs and more and a bit more high strung than my wired hairs. I have a one year old wired hair now that is driving me crazy because it is hard to tire him out. But that is typical . He's 75 lbs my female is 50 lbs

Id agree. I just have a personal preference for griffs . I never said labs dont have a prey drive. Problem is labs have been way over bred and very difficult to find a good lab with prey drive and good genetics and no health issues.
