The propblem with GREAT DOGS is they are few and far between. Wirehaied pointers are about as good as it gets for the one dog all season hunter. I hunt with a fabulous GSP, a great big one maybe 28" and 80 lbs. This opener Buck caught a runner, carried it about ten yards, gently set it down and watched it run into cover. It seemed like he did his job and then went looking for a fresh bird. I like most all of the German Super Breeds and will likly look hard into pointing labs. Willie, enjoy that pup!
