I am fond of English Pointers and English Setters. I have both breeds but prefer pointers because they have loads of stamina. But I love setters too. I have seen good dogs in all breeds and sometimes wish I had a good Brittany Spaniel. I prefer pointing dogs over flushing......I guess because that's what I was brought up with...Dad had them. If I were a beginner I would not want an English Pointer. They can be hard headed. After saying all this I think the best advice is to make sure you pick a dog from HUNTING STOCK with proven breeding. A worthless dog eats just as much dog food as the national champion.
