I'm just loving all these Dog and Hunting pictures. Hoping/planning to get in Grouse (Maine). Pheasant (South Dakota), and Quail (Georgia) this year, but will have to do it with someone else's dogs this year. My next Shorthair is due in the Spring.
That kind of versatility is what makes dogs like Shorthairs and Brittanies shine in my book. Setters can be great to, but oh my goodness the hair, mud and burrs.

I wanted and had nothing but English Pointers for bird hunting for many years. We hunted them in braces from a jeep and nothing but Pointers made the grade for that. I still believe that no dog breed is better for bobwhite quail than the pointer. Probly, they can be broke as house pets too.
A few years ago, at 60 I was out of the bird dog owning business except for a Lab. Then I decided to break one more bird dog and chose an old man's foot hunting breed, a German Wirehair. Willy has been a joy to work with and for the hunting I do, she's just the ticket for me.
Nevertheless, the thread is about reccomendations for a household pet/pointing dog. Altogether I'll stick with my 1st suggestion of a small female Shorthair...Geo

Chuck might ought'a plan on getting him a jeep....because when that pointer see's a pheasant he'll need the jeep to catch him.

Yeah, or I was thinking one of those ultralight airplanes or a Piper Cub.

If we're just gonna hunt cornfields, I'll just bring the Lab. That way I can help track your dogs.

Maybe Last Dollar will put Chuck on one of his fast horses so he can keep up with his dog.
