[QUOTE="Pdvdh, post: 3008155, member: 4191"] My limited experience with German Wirehair Pointers included getting bit by a 9-month old female this past September while walking a trail in the forest near my house. A local homeowner has two of them. One male and one female. They're both completely untrained, high energy, rambunctious, and overly aggressive. The owner was with her dogs, walking them on the same trail I was walking through the woods. I'd say a big factor contributing to the aggression with her dogs, are both of the dogs are probably smarter than their owner. The dogs are completely uncontrolled. During the aggression, which resulted in getting bit on the back of my thigh, the owner never did anything, said anything, to reign in her dogs. She looked like a deer frozen in the headlights. I've owned and trained my own springer spaniel and german shorthair pointer / black lab mix hunting dogs in the past. These German wirehair pointers have more pent up energy than most hunting breeds I've been around. Because of that, I think they need some basic obedience school training, more-so than the average hunting dog. I'll say this. They love to jump, and can jump like gazelles. [/QUOTE]
