I had a German shorthair pointer. It was an absolutely fabulous dog, lived almost up to 16 years of age. I rode a bicycle and he would run together for 20 km a day through woods, near the river and anywhere else. I would take this dog with my everywhere, for instance, to the seaside, or to brush ink painting camps where he would make friends with all people or quietly sleep on an armchair while I was painting. I miss him so much.

My cousins have an English Pointer named "Smalls". Through Smalls I fell in love with the English Pointer breed. They're loving and playful and can go from lounging around the house to excitable in just a few seconds. He has such a playful demeanor but requires a lot of attention. Definitely my favorite dog breed, and I'm sure you will love them too.

Ive had 3 vizslas. My last one passed in 2015. The breed is wonderful! Awesome temperament, sweet, loving, great instincts, which includes a heck of a protective bark that introduces everyone to his protective adult 🦷. All in all, vizslas are unquestionably friendly, loving and wants to be with you and do what you do. They truly are your ride or die! Absolutely wonderful with babies, kids, adults, seniors, other dogs and other animals. And such a soft handsome breed.

Hello Friends, which Pointing dog breed is your favorite ?

I had a Weimeraner and without any hunting training at 9 months I took him pheasant shooting and he worked, pointed and retrieved his first pheasant on our first hunt. We became inseparable - we knew what each other was thinking. He died of cancer when he was 10 and for over 30 years I have never been able to get another dog - until now; I got a Vizsla. He is only 6 months old now but this weekend we go on our first "hunt" and I try him out on Bunnies and Deer. On our walks he is constantly working Blackbirds and pointing them for me so i have high hopes. I must say, he is extremely affectionate and if I growl at him, he pisses himself and runs off to his bed and lies there until I go to him and make -up! You have to see it!

We have one English Setter and have had 4 others. A great companion for running, biking, skijoring, and traveling. They love car rides. They will run nonstop for hours and are calm as can be inside the house. Very affectionate and sensitive. Ours all came from rescue groups.

I've had three Brittanies. Loving, smart, energetic, and beautiful. I can't imagine my life without one. They're great with children and are always friendly. All of mine have been natural pointers.

Trained a pointer once and wanted to play with him with a toy that looked like a furry animal. Guess what he did?... Stood still & pointed beautifully 🤣

I have a German shorthaired pointer and I’ve had him since he was a month old and he is the best dog. He is smart, loyal, athletic and sooo loving.

My vizsla Zeus was the best dog and the best friend I've ever had. I couldn't go anywhere or do anything without him by my side. Super affectionate. My best buddy, no doubt. He would've given his life to protect my wife an i. I miss him every day, amazing companion and natural pointer. Full of energy for 10 good years, I'd give anything for 10 more. Best boy ever

being an ex-owner of both Vizla and Irish Setter I can definitely tell you this much: Both breeds are incredible loving family dogs. Never used them for hunting....I live in the city, not too much to hunt rather than rats...but seriously, both lived in my apartment, both were loyal, free spirit and loving dogs. Both (especially Vizsla) were terrific partners for 10+ KM runs....both lived for 15+ years

I have a German short haired pointer who we’ve had since I was a little kid. And I would easily and confidently say he is one of the best dogs and most laid back dogs. We just moved to the woods and he will literally walk and run around for what feels like hours and he loves it to death. I love him and he’s a huge part of our family

I have the Pudelpointer, doesn’t shed, great manors and a true beast in the field. The light switch from field to home is amazing!! Love this breed!!!

I have an English pointer who is adorable we bought her when we thought Willow our Weimaraner was on her last legs but our Pointer helped to bring another 4 years to Willow inseparable & great companion - we miss Willow very much who died 4 months ago & not been able to replace her as she was so unique ❤️

So glad to see Brittanys included. I bred trained & trialled them for over 20 years. Wonderful dogs.

We’ve got 2 GSP’s, we don’t hunt them but scent trail, agility and canicross them both. Last week after I’d been running for 8 miles with them both and came in from the garden my wife asked if we had been out as they were still bouncing around full of energy!

[juandelacruz]

I can't believe he said "Stanima" TWICE lol 😂

I have two German Shorthaired Pointers and they are amazing dogs. Great with nieces and nephews, love to run non stop but are also okay laying on the couch after their exercise.

I have a 9 month old Wirehaired Pointing Griffon. I don’t hunt with him, he is my companion dog. He has TONS of energy and intelligence. Very loving and loyal!
