if i were adopting a pointer, and i didn't want to spend the rest of my life trying to figure out how to wear one out, i would look at a mix. Bronki was a labrador pointer cross, he had all the intelligence plus those beautiful eyes that the german shorthair has, but not the spikey fur. Bronki's grandfather's fur would set me up in hives from the pokey hair, Victor's is as soft as a new born baby. They are a high breed..and if they are mixed with a more reasonable breed (like the labrador) you get something a bit more calm. (not that i am advocating cross breeds) but if i were looking to adopt..i would go for a lab/pointer. I thought Mary's daddy was a speed demon but oh my..Victor is something else. I Love all the hunting class, i don't know why pointers pull my heart strings but they do. I will always want a really smart dog..and Victor IS all of that. I wondered why u were looking at the gsh site..i guessed but did'nt say anything.
I wish u could have met my Bronki. He was so calm, and wise, and loving. Victor is smart, and active and more active on top of that, and loving..sometimes i would like to turn him down just a notch or too,
but he is doing better much better than even a few months ago. The figure 8's in front of the door were ..oh my..it was as if he was going to walk himself right there if i wasn't willing to come along.I think Mary's tired of the figure 8's in the back of the car..and she has for the first time in her life..moved tot the front of the bus. I am pretty sure that is why.
Meagan's a beauty..they grow up to be such graceful dogs..Ny neighbor said she loved to watch Bin run back and forth for he looked like a walking horse..he picked his feet up high and had quite a handsome gait.
