[QUOTE="epoletna, post: 3008068, member: 87371"] We have "owned" two German short-haired pointers. I put 'owned' in quotation marks because they really owned us. It is a fabulous breed with the two cautions mentnioned by TRM82 -- they need space and exercise. One of the two we had lived with us on our family farm. we'd let him out in the morning and he'd run flat out for about 45 minutes, then come back to be with us. the truth is, we did not spend enough time training him because we didn't think we had to -- he hunted the very first time we took him out. and he went everywhere we went and spent every waking moment with us. We're both in our early 80's now and I won't get another because I know he would outlive us and don't want that. So if you would consider a shorthair breed, have plenty of space, and have the time to train him properly, you won't find a better breed. [/QUOTE]
