- I went to the Cow Palace Sport and Boat Show yesterday and saw some German
- Short-haired Pointers from Nelson's Kennels. My wife and I are looking
- for a dog (not now but soon) that is smart, good natured, good with kids,
- clean, doesn't shed, good in the house, and (for me) will also be a good
- upland hunting dog. Of course my wife could care less about this last
- item, and she is pushing for a yellow lab. Good retreiver, but that's not
- the type of hunting I do. I went pheasant hunting with a friend and his
- black lab once, and it worked out O.K., but the dog is hardly an ideal
- upland dog.
-
- Thoughts on (or better yet experience with) the German Pointers? How do
- they do on the above criteria? Yellow labs? Other breeds? Advice
- appreciated.
