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 sooooo 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.
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 two Weimaraners, one short hair female and a long hair male. They are a great dog for hunting,retrieving and tracking. We have just mated our male long hair with a breeder friends female long hair. She had 12 puppies a week ago, 6 female and 6 male. They give you so much affection, they think they are human 😆 they need lots of exercise to keep their brain stimulated.
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'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.
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.
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
We have had two Vizsla's the last one we lost Dec 5, 2019 at the ripe old age of 15 1/3 years old and we took her to the off-leash park daily, as she got older she required less exercise but if the weather was nice she got at least 30 minutes off-leash daily. We hope to get another Vizsla sometime next year. We had a German Longhair Pointer who was a year younger, we used both for hunting and after 4 hours of hunting the German Longhair Pointer would need a break and a short nap for lunch while our Vizsla would look at us and almost ask why are we stopping I'm just getting warmed up!
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 ❤️
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!
I grew up with Griffons had a couple of litters which were formative for me. Hunting for Pat's and Pheasants was a great experience in my teens and early manhood. Great house dogs and in the field. Now o am 74 and full of nostalgia! Long live the Gun Dog Supreme ! MICHIGAN
@@user-di5ci5yg5u I’m sad to say that my Griff is no longer with me. It became impossible to pretend any longer that I could provide for him what I thought I could, and what he would need to thrive. I couldn’t give him enough physical and mental exercise, and I was way out of my depths in trying to train him. I decided to find him a home that would be better for him, and I believe I did that. He was living with me and my parents in a basement apartment in the suburbs, but now he’s in a rural area with land, a pond, and a family who not only loves him as family, but also takes him camping and fishing and boating and jogging. They’ve sent me photos, and he’s doing so well. He even gets along with their cat, and even their lizard, though that one apparently took some doing. I miss him. I’ve had dogs before, but never have I lived with a dog before or since who makes me feel like I’m in the presence of something so wild, free, and predatory in nature. That will forever be my favorite thing about Griff - that feeling of bringing the wild with him everywhere he went. It was stunning. What a breathtaking dog he will always be to me.
I'm interested to know if you pronounce it "Puddle,' as the narrator did? The Pudel originated in Germany, and was pronounced "poodle," from which we get the breed we know as the "Poodle." The name "pudel" means "to splash in the water," because they were bred to retrieve game birds from the water. (BTW: manners* 😊👍👍)
We have two GSPs...rescue dogs which required much rehab, poor things. But now theyre good. Intelligent sweet dog, just give them love leadership and LOTS of exercise...👍🏻
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.
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!
I had two English Pointers over the years . My last one sadly died recently aged 14 . Beautiful dogs heart breaking to lose them . Mine were pets and ran everywhere with me .🐶
@Jacy Koch.....Hello 👋😁 I'm getting a GSP In about 4 to 6 weeks. (So excited) I'm a T-11 paraplegic and I'm going to train him to be a service dog along with my service dog Odin.I don't hunt but I love shooting. Competition, skeet shooting, and self defense training. How does your dog do with the loud sound of a pistol rifle and shotgun?
@@kamal7miledog252 you don't do now....maybe in 5-6 months I knocked on a door or somewhere that could make noise with your hand and then caress the dog, encouraged ... and when you train him in birds or hares...... there are special capsules
I've had several GSPs (German Shorthaired Pointers) and loved them. Some "experts" claim that they are too boisterous in their play for small children, but we've had five children raised with GSPs and never had a problem. Since my wife and I are now empty nesters and live in smaller quarters, we have a brace of Brittany Spaniels (in France, the origin of the breed, they are still called "epagneuls", i.e. spaniels, and if the French call them spaniels, who are we to argue?). These dogs are almost a smaller version of the GSP, except in looks, and have all of the virtues of the German dog. Sweet, loyal, intelligent, and terrific with children, the choice between the Britt and the GSP is a toss-up.
I had both growing up. My parents got the GSP, Lady, for my brother when I was born. She was elegant, loving, stubborn and a hell of a hunter. I am 75 and still miss Lady. Suds was my dog. We got him when I was 12. Suds was sweet, loving, and a dingbat. He once pointed on a tomato, so dad's hunting partner called him the salad dog.
@@stratomix333 In fact, we had a small farm, with both house cats and barn cats. In the house, all was fine. Outdoors, the dogs would chase the same cats, but I think that both considered it a game; nobody was ever caught or injured. The GSPs never chased the sheep, although they liked to make the chickens fly (just the hens; the rooster was way too belligerent). And the dogs got along famously with the horses, ponies, and mules.
We have two German pointers, one is one years old and the other is 11, poor Murdoch isn’t doing too well now, he was so sad when his brother died from bowel cancer. He was born with his vertebratee fused together, so when he was four he had one removed. Now his back legs constantly give out and he can’t run. But he is still the sweetest angel ever. I can not recommend a pointer enough. They are so gentle. Murdoch loves cats.
They are wonderful dogs the only knock I have against them is they can be a tad stubborn, sort of like a 3 year old having a temper tantrum. They sort of look at you with the expression on their face - going I know what you want BUT that is NOT going to happen.
I’ve had English pointers and English setters most my life and for the last year and a half I have a dog that doesn’t come on the list, a French braque (or a French pointer). I knew the breed before, a hunting companion of mine has these dogs for a long time and they really are amazing dogs, they are very intelligent and sociable dogs and are the most passionate for hunting I have ever seen.
I have a Brittanys for 35 years. I love their intelligence and loyalty. We don't hunt but our Brittany loves to hunt on her own. She prefers squirrels. She must have a walk every day so that she can run and sniff. I believe the most important thing to do to make a hunting dog balanced is exhausting exercise even if it is just for a half-hour. We also walk her at night. Sniffing is a food group for these dogs. If I didn't have a Brittany, I would have a GSP.
We had a English Pointer and I miss her extremely. Cindy was a wonderful companion and gave as much love as we gave her. RIP and rise to Glory, Cindy.🌈. We currently have smaller breeds because we have gotten older and cannot give a larger dog the exercise that is required for them. By the way I love the channel 🤩
Our dog was the English Pointer, very smart and loving. We lost him to cancer last year. We are getting another one this spring and can't wait. This is truly a great breed.
German Shorthair Pointer I have trained and hunted with them they are some of the quickest learning breed I have known and I have owned Border Collies English Shepherds Shetland Sheepdogs and Rough Collies. The GSP made them look slow. Among Pointing Breeds only the Brittany, and UKC registered Red Setters come close in learning as quickly and doing as well at being both a companion, and a hunting/Field Trial dog. Absolutely love the GSP!
30 years ago I had to put down my lab because of cancer and started researching what my next hunting dog would be. My lab was a very quick learner and amazing retriever with a nose you wouldn't believe. For my style of hunting and the terrain I hunt I had decided it should be a WPG. Well 9 years ago I was finally ready to get another dog and it was a griffon. By then the internet had arrived and I kept doing research and the breed still stood out. To tell you the truth I was skeptical of things they said about the breed. It was too good to be true. I have to say he still amazes me today. He lives to hunt game birds and only game birds. He still won't point grouse (dam things run too much) but is rock steady on woodcock. And as a house dog you couldn't ask for more. You can leave any food anywhere but the floor and he won't touch it. He's a little stand offish with strangers but in a few minutes he's your best friend (who isn't these days.) He's not very affectionate but and will get bored quickly in training sessions. And even at 9 years old he has to unwind after each session by running circles and figure 8's around me. He loves water but I never hunted him over ducks. My sister won't allow it. She's afraid the cold water will give him arthritis. He's never seen water that was too cold for a nice swim yet. He's not as strong a retriever as my lab was but I didn't train him as much for it. He'll retrieve any bird I shoot gently to me. Won't say he's the best breed since I don't have experience with other breeds but let's just say I communicated with someone that worked in an international airport in bomb detection. He had over 20 years experience and he says his Griffon was the best one he ever had. That's good enough for me.
We rescued a dog that was believed to be a 2 yr old wolfhound mix....turns out he's the most energetic and intelligent 8 month old wirehaired Viszla, at 3 inches and 20 lbs over breed standard,, you could imagine! So much for a chill mutt. He exercises my husband to the tune of several miles running each day. Lol! And they do NOT easily calm down in the home, it takes work and training for him to know when to relax. However, the love, affection and trainability make it well worth the extra effort.
We have a gordon setter named ruby. She is an excellent companion. We live in northern ontarios cottage country. Ruby is a full blown life gaurd. As soon as one of my two kids or my sisters kids step foot in the water on the beach at out cottage she goes on high alert watching them closley from the dock. If a kid tries to go in the water without an adult at the beach she goes wild till someone comes down to the dock. What an amazing breed. She also hunts ruffed and spruce grouse like no other dog i have seen. When they are still or out in the open she points till a gun fires. If they are in the thicks or out of sight she jumps them till they tree and stays local to the bird pointing at the tree they are in. Thats without any serious hunting training. It is all natural with ruby
I own an Irish setter which has been trained as a service dog for my wife who has ms. It is the most awesome dog and I highly recommend it to anyone looking for a good service dog breed. You will not be disappointed.
I have had 6 German short haired pointers. I cherish every one of them. Such loving and obedient dogs. They’re who reason for living is to please. Talk about agape love.
Just this week from our backyard, my French Brittany (Epangeul Breton) caught a rabbit in the garden, a bird in the cherry tree and a mole underground. She doesn’t quit. Prettier than the American Brittany, I must say, and a bit smaller.
Our first Brit was an American....loved her to death she made it to almost 14. We now have a French Brit, I will say she is such a pretty girl, seems a bit more determined than our American.
@@magnumllama400 I have 2, one male and one female. They are both 11 yrs. old and look pretty good for their age. It's the female that's the better hunter and caught the critters I mentioned above. She's driven to hunt.
@@Shiloh_II interesting. I'm looking to get a second dog and I like this epagnuel breton. I have an old girl dog, do you think I should get male or female puppy?
The GSP is a fantastic dog. I had one and loved him. Very intelligent and quite good looking! Mellow and peaceful. Great in the outdoors and quite affectionate.
I have a 9 month old female Irish Setter, great looking dog, I got to run with her every day & at 73 she keeps me in shape. I will be pheasant hunting with her this fall
Love em all... I had a big male Viszla and think it's the smartest most athletic breed I've ever seen. They do something every day that makes you say "did I really just see him do that?" I'd highly recommend one if you want a dog to never leave your side for long!!! Very very FAST!
I have run the great Hungarian vizsla for over 40 years up land specialist velcro the greatest dog of all times I currently have three in the Viking pack their second to none 😉🤗💯💝
We have an 8 year old English Pointer.They are wonderful dogs in every regard - kind,loyal,intelligent and a joy to own.She’s the best dog we’ve ever had.
First time owner of GSP... wow what a dog...extremely smart, incredible hearing, doesn't miss a thing!!! This dog will keep you on the move...not for the couch potato looking for a companion!!
Oh they can be huge couch potatoes. We couldn't hunt our last gsp because she was gun shy even though we worked hard to fix that issue. So she became just the family dog. She was always on the couch or bed velcrod to one of her humans. But she also got a lot of play time as well
I’ve had three vizslas. The one I have currently is an absolute handful. I love her to pieces, but she is my most challenging Vizsla. She is almost two and is getting better. She loves her daily walks and she’s a beast off-leash. Her recall is impeccable. I also have a Weimaraner and she is the sweetest. She is also almost two. Raising two puppies is tough, but I wouldn’t trade them for the world.
I have a orange Belton English Setter and love him setters are such wonder dogs and beautiful coats .i also have a GSP /English setter mix a high energy. Goof ball, sweet and great with family
I've got a 2 year old Blue Belton english setter. He's all business when hunting but other a silly goofball too. We love him, he's super gentle and sweet. Not too brave but does he ever love people.
I had a female English Setter that was a hunter and pet. She was a very loving dog and I always had gotten my bag limit of birds with her. Belle was good company when not hunting and enjoyed being with me,when I was at my favorite fishing spots or on a hike. If you have a chance getting a english setter pup go for it.
I've had 3 Brittany's so far. Great field dogs, great companions, great family dogs. I still mist up a little whenever I think of Murphy, the second one.
I currently am dogless. I raised and trained English/Elhew pointers, great breed, the best in my opinion, hunted over most of the others. I found them to be highly motivated and having great noses. I lost few crippled birds and they even catch birds like grouse without a shot being fired. Not easily trained due to their enthudiastic style. Bred for hunting from horseback, a walking hunter must work with them to keep them in close, but we'll worth the extra training. I used mine for waterfowwling as well. Results varied, but generally successful as duck dogs. Formerly an avid bird hunter, there is nothing like the skilled dig well conditioned to hunt and retrieve. It makes for the best quality of hunting experience and I do miss it.
We have raised, trained, and hunted over quite a few of the breeds listed here. While both the Weimaraner and GSP are excellent in the field, they both have a strong prey drive when unattended and both can be destructive in the home without a great deal of exercise. Our favorite breed is the Irish Setter (of hunting lines, not bench setters) because of its natural abilities in the field, ability to shut down its energy when indoors, and its comedic personality.
I get my WPG in 4 weeks so my GWP will have a stepsister. One week after the WPG gets to the house the GWP goes to training so that should help with potty training we hope.
Yeah this video is kinda discredited as soon as it pictures GWP as GSP. GWP can be a slick coat, "buddy has one that is an amazing dog" but a GSP can't have a beard. Also the Deutsch Drahthaar is the most popular hunting dog in Germany which would say it is popular amongst hunters at least. I think the video didn't go off statistical numbers, maybe just Google or AKC searched.
English Pointer. I had one and after his death no other breed has stimulated me to get one. If I decide I will keep on with an English Pointer as I trully believe has the strongest nose of all dogs...
I have a young GSP. Fabulous dog but lots of energy. Owner can’t be sedentary. I put a gps on her collar. I’ll walk 3 miles in the hills-she’ll do 10-12. Very good first bird season.
I own a Wirehaired Pointing Griffon and will replace her with another unless I go back to an Irish Setter. I have had 2 Wirehaired Pointing Griffons and one magnificent Irish Setter who was absolutely fantastic. He was a Great family dog, companion and hunting dog. Have lots of fantastic stories of both breeds.
Perfect size dogs. The French Brittany is a bit smaller w/ a smaller snout and they have the black gene which generally means a dark nose, lips, and darker eyes. Very good looking dog, wavy coat, a happy-go-lucky demeaner, very alert, very good watch dogs, dominant to most other dogs. I'm on my 3rd and 4th.
My dad used to breed gsp an they were always his fav as it was for hunting dogs even though he did love the Britneys to. But German shorthairs were his love.
I have two Britanys, they look like the dark dog at 3:32. In the breed you can have “orange” and white dogs or “liver” and white dogs. Both of mine at “liver” and white!🐶🐾
My best friend has a Vizsla. He is such an adorable lovebug. He can run free on walks but is so easy to handle. A perfect dog for starters. Though I think that he is so easy to handle because she trains him for man trailing.
Gordon Setters are the BEST DOGS EVER! Beautiful, sweet, and extremely intelligent. I can train my Gordon, "Ricochet" on names, words, commands in little time, and he remembers forever! Full of energy, always up for play, and gets along with everyone, one of my cats loves him. Inside the house he is calm, and he even hugs me if I cry at sad movies. Yes, he does chase birds, but he also lovingly brought in a baby pigeon that fell out of his nest and put him down carefully in a safe place in the house, refusing to leave him outside on the cold ground at night, saved the baby's life. What more could you ask for..
Among the scenes with the German shorthaired pointers there were several German wirehaired pointers... a fantastic breed i missed among all those amazing breeds
My wife and I just rescued a puppy. He’s vizsla/lab mix. He’s ten weeks old and so smart. My wife and I both work on commercial fishing boats and she’s been taking him for day trips. He absolutely loves it.
Definitely loved the Irish, english and gordon setter, I do have dogs one of which recently passed away they are one from the toy breeds, however i did get to meet an Irish setter once and I fell in love with him the moment i saw him ever since then Ive been doing my research on the irish proceeded to learn about the english and the gordon and ever since then had my heart set on getting these breeds, and i have to say that the breeds of the setter family are the most beautiful dogs Ive ever seen
We have a Pitt Bull/German Short Hair Pointer, and she is the MOST loving dog and always ready to go. She will be 10 this year, but people tell us she looks and acts like a 4 year old. I have had many dogs and loved them all dearly, but this dog is the most loving dog ever!
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 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!!!
Hello Lillie how's the weather over there
I'm interested to know if you pronounce it "Puddle,' as the narrator did?
The Pudel originated in Germany, and was pronounced "poodle," from which we get the breed we know as the "Poodle." The name "pudel" means "to splash in the water," because they were bred to retrieve game birds from the water.
(BTW: manners* 😊👍👍)
@@judylloyd7901 Pudel is pronounced like poodle. If you pronounced it like an Irishman would it would be very close to how we pronounce it in German 😁
So glad to see Brittanys included. I bred trained & trialled them for over 20 years. Wonderful dogs.
GSP are fantastic! All energy and so loveable. They are great companions as well as hunters. Love mine.🐾🐾🐾
I agree my gsp cannon is very affectionate
So true, once you own one you can't live without , my GSP Bobby is like a son to me, I love him to pieces.
Brittany’s and GSP are like the same
Hello Bonnie how's the weather over there
We have two GSPs...rescue dogs which required much rehab, poor things. But now theyre good. Intelligent sweet dog, just give them love leadership and LOTS of exercise...👍🏻
Hello Ronan how's the weather over there
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.
Yes you are right
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!
Hello Debbie how's the weather over there
I can't believe he said "Stanima" TWICE lol 😂
He's keeping his jeans high and tight. That's all.
They really scrape the bottom of the barrel. Pudelpointer is mispronounced.
Mispronounced Vizsla each time as well.
I kept backing up cause i couldn't believe he was saying it
Jere Bright unexpected ymh
I had two English Pointers over the years . My last one sadly died recently aged 14 . Beautiful dogs heart breaking to lose them . Mine were pets and ran everywhere with me .🐶
I have a Weimaraner and a GSP they are so loving and the great hunters that’s why these are my favorite dogs
Yes I argree I have a Germane short haired pointer and she is so nice and cute
Are you a hunter
What do you hunt
@Jacy Koch.....Hello 👋😁 I'm getting a GSP In about 4 to 6 weeks. (So excited) I'm a T-11 paraplegic and I'm going to train him to be a service dog along with my service dog Odin.I don't hunt but I love shooting. Competition, skeet shooting, and self defense training. How does your dog do with the loud sound of a pistol rifle and shotgun?
@@kamal7miledog252 you don't do now....maybe in 5-6 months I knocked on a door or somewhere that could make noise with your hand and then caress the dog, encouraged
... and when you train him in birds or hares...... there are special capsules
I've owned each breed separately. Great dogs, as family dogs, (EXERCISE) or hunters (What my weimy was trained to do.)
Did anyone else hear “stanima” ? 🤣
👍
More than once😂
The dude needs to go back to primary school
Scrolled down to find this comment. :)
Yes. Mispronounced "Pudelpointer", too :(
I've had several GSPs (German Shorthaired Pointers) and loved them. Some "experts" claim that they are too boisterous in their play for small children, but we've had five children raised with GSPs and never had a problem. Since my wife and I are now empty nesters and live in smaller quarters, we have a brace of Brittany Spaniels (in France, the origin of the breed, they are still called "epagneuls", i.e. spaniels, and if the French call them spaniels, who are we to argue?). These dogs are almost a smaller version of the GSP, except in looks, and have all of the virtues of the German dog. Sweet, loyal, intelligent, and terrific with children, the choice between the Britt and the GSP is a toss-up.
Do you believe they can get along well in a small farm with other animals, especially cats?
I had both growing up. My parents got the GSP, Lady, for my brother when I was born. She was elegant, loving, stubborn and a hell of a hunter. I am 75 and still miss Lady. Suds was my dog. We got him when I was 12. Suds was sweet, loving, and a dingbat. He once pointed on a tomato, so dad's hunting partner called him the salad dog.
@@stratomix333 In fact, we had a small farm, with both house cats and barn cats. In the house, all was fine. Outdoors, the dogs would chase the same cats, but I think that both considered it a game; nobody was ever caught or injured. The GSPs never chased the sheep, although they liked to make the chickens fly (just the hens; the rooster was way too belligerent). And the dogs got along famously with the horses, ponies, and mules.
@@uptonsavoie thanks!
We have two German pointers, one is one years old and the other is 11, poor Murdoch isn’t doing too well now, he was so sad when his brother died from bowel cancer. He was born with his vertebratee fused together, so when he was four he had one removed. Now his back legs constantly give out and he can’t run. But he is still the sweetest angel ever. I can not recommend a pointer enough. They are so gentle. Murdoch loves cats.
Ok I have to ask, how is Murdoch doing now? Hope is he doing well!
I have had a german shorthair pointers my whole life and they are excellent dogs and they are just good all around.
They are wonderful dogs the only knock I have against them is they can be a tad stubborn, sort of like a 3 year old having a temper tantrum. They sort of look at you with the expression on their face - going I know what you want BUT that is NOT going to happen.
I’ve had English pointers and English setters most my life and for the last year and a half I have a dog that doesn’t come on the list, a French braque (or a French pointer).
I knew the breed before, a hunting companion of mine has these dogs for a long time and they really are amazing dogs, they are very intelligent and sociable dogs and are the most passionate for hunting I have ever seen.
Hello Friends, which Pointing dog breed is your favorite ?
German shorthaired pointer
English pointer
weimaraner
English Pointer
Vizsla
I have a Brittanys for 35 years. I love their intelligence and loyalty. We don't hunt but our Brittany loves to hunt on her own. She prefers squirrels. She must have a walk every day so that she can run and sniff. I believe the most important thing to do to make a hunting dog balanced is exhausting exercise even if it is just for a half-hour. We also walk her at night. Sniffing is a food group for these dogs. If I didn't have a Brittany, I would have a GSP.
Hello Donna how's the weather over there
We had a English Pointer and I miss her extremely. Cindy was a wonderful companion and gave as much love as we gave her. RIP and rise to Glory, Cindy.🌈. We currently have smaller breeds because we have gotten older and cannot give a larger dog the exercise that is required for them. By the way I love the channel 🤩
Our dog was the English Pointer, very smart and loving. We lost him to cancer last year. We are getting another one this spring and can't wait. This is truly a great breed.
German Shorthair Pointer I have trained and hunted with them they are some of the quickest learning breed I have known and I have owned Border Collies English Shepherds Shetland Sheepdogs and Rough Collies. The GSP made them look slow. Among Pointing Breeds only the Brittany, and UKC registered Red Setters come close in learning as quickly and doing as well at being both a companion, and a hunting/Field Trial dog. Absolutely love the GSP!
30 years ago I had to put down my lab because of cancer and started researching what my next hunting dog would be. My lab was a very quick learner and amazing retriever with a nose you wouldn't believe. For my style of hunting and the terrain I hunt I had decided it should be a WPG. Well 9 years ago I was finally ready to get another dog and it was a griffon. By then the internet had arrived and I kept doing research and the breed still stood out. To tell you the truth I was skeptical of things they said about the breed. It was too good to be true. I have to say he still amazes me today. He lives to hunt game birds and only game birds. He still won't point grouse (dam things run too much) but is rock steady on woodcock. And as a house dog you couldn't ask for more. You can leave any food anywhere but the floor and he won't touch it. He's a little stand offish with strangers but in a few minutes he's your best friend (who isn't these days.) He's not very affectionate but and will get bored quickly in training sessions. And even at 9 years old he has to unwind after each session by running circles and figure 8's around me. He loves water but I never hunted him over ducks. My sister won't allow it. She's afraid the cold water will give him arthritis. He's never seen water that was too cold for a nice swim yet. He's not as strong a retriever as my lab was but I didn't train him as much for it. He'll retrieve any bird I shoot gently to me. Won't say he's the best breed since I don't have experience with other breeds but let's just say I communicated with someone that worked in an international airport in bomb detection. He had over 20 years experience and he says his Griffon was the best one he ever had. That's good enough for me.
Hello Denis how's the weather over there
@@steveanthony8653 Raining and cool.
@@denisleblanc4506 Oh i see is hot over here so where are you from I'm from Dallas Texas
We rescued a dog that was believed to be a 2 yr old wolfhound mix....turns out he's the most energetic and intelligent 8 month old wirehaired Viszla, at 3 inches and 20 lbs over breed standard,, you could imagine! So much for a chill mutt. He exercises my husband to the tune of several miles running each day. Lol! And they do NOT easily calm down in the home, it takes work and training for him to know when to relax. However, the love, affection and trainability make it well worth the extra effort.
Hello Heather how's the weather over there
We have a gordon setter named ruby. She is an excellent companion. We live in northern ontarios cottage country. Ruby is a full blown life gaurd. As soon as one of my two kids or my sisters kids step foot in the water on the beach at out cottage she goes on high alert watching them closley from the dock. If a kid tries to go in the water without an adult at the beach she goes wild till someone comes down to the dock. What an amazing breed. She also hunts ruffed and spruce grouse like no other dog i have seen. When they are still or out in the open she points till a gun fires. If they are in the thicks or out of sight she jumps them till they tree and stays local to the bird pointing at the tree they are in. Thats without any serious hunting training. It is all natural with ruby
I had a Brittney that recently passed away sadly, but he was such an amazing dog! Great working and companion breed
Hey Jessie how's the weather over there
I have a 9 year old Vizsla named Scout. BEST DOG EVER
Hell yeah they rock my sons nsme is hector vizlas forever
I have a 1 year old Vizsla named Lexie, she's the best pup ever 🥰
I had one that died last still the best dog I’ve had
_Kamoso_ I got a German shorthair pointer named scout
I own an Irish setter which has been trained as a service dog for my wife who has ms. It is the most awesome dog and I highly recommend it to anyone looking for a good service dog breed. You will not be disappointed.
I have had 6 German short haired pointers. I cherish every one of them. Such loving and obedient dogs. They’re who reason for living is to please. Talk about agape love.
Just this week from our backyard, my French Brittany (Epangeul Breton) caught a rabbit in the garden, a bird in the cherry tree and a mole underground. She doesn’t quit. Prettier than the American Brittany, I must say, and a bit smaller.
Bade harami kutte paale ho (translate this from Google translater)
Our first Brit was an American....loved her to death she made it to almost 14. We now have a French Brit, I will say she is such a pretty girl, seems a bit more determined than our American.
Is your dog a male or female?
@@magnumllama400 I have 2, one male and one female. They are both 11 yrs. old and look pretty good for their age. It's the female that's the better hunter and caught the critters I mentioned above. She's driven to hunt.
@@Shiloh_II interesting. I'm looking to get a second dog and I like this epagnuel breton. I have an old girl dog, do you think I should get male or female puppy?
The GSP is a fantastic dog. I had one and loved him. Very intelligent and quite good looking! Mellow and peaceful. Great in the outdoors and quite affectionate.
I have a 9 month old female Irish Setter, great looking dog, I got to run with her every day & at 73 she keeps me in shape. I will be pheasant hunting with her this fall
Brittanys are the sweetest dogs on earth ❤️
Mine is a complete clutz and total beggar for attention. Love him a lot. Complete daddy's boy is what he is.
I agree
Love em all... I had a big male Viszla and think it's the smartest most athletic breed I've ever seen. They do something every day that makes you say "did I really just see him do that?" I'd highly recommend one if you want a dog to never leave your side for long!!! Very very FAST!
I still remember our English Setter Laverack. Such a sweet and gentle dog, i really miss her.
I have run the great Hungarian vizsla for over 40 years up land specialist velcro the greatest dog of all times I currently have three in the Viking pack their second to none 😉🤗💯💝
Thats an old dog !
We have an 8 year old English Pointer.They are wonderful dogs in every regard - kind,loyal,intelligent and a joy to own.She’s the best dog we’ve ever had.
GSPs are the best dogs to ever exist 😍🥰
I have a Brittany...lovely dog, so beauty......Diana is 12 years old......she has been retired from hunting now.
First time owner of GSP... wow what a dog...extremely smart, incredible hearing, doesn't miss a thing!!! This dog will keep you on the move...not for the couch potato looking for a companion!!
Oh they can be huge couch potatoes. We couldn't hunt our last gsp because she was gun shy even though we worked hard to fix that issue. So she became just the family dog. She was always on the couch or bed velcrod to one of her humans. But she also got a lot of play time as well
My Pudelpointer has exceeded my expectations!
I don't think that I will ever love or have a better dog than we had in our female GSP, Abby. I miss her a lot.
I’ve owned weimariners and vizslas vizslas are the best over all dogs with the best natural hunting instinct best gun dog(.)
I’ve had three vizslas. The one I have currently is an absolute handful. I love her to pieces, but she is my most challenging Vizsla. She is almost two and is getting better. She loves her daily walks and she’s a beast off-leash. Her recall is impeccable. I also have a Weimaraner and she is the sweetest. She is also almost two. Raising two puppies is tough, but I wouldn’t trade them for the world.
Vizsla is my favourite breed. Our last one was such a beautiful soul. She missed very much. RIP lily
I have a orange Belton English Setter and love him setters are such wonder dogs and beautiful coats .i also have a GSP /English setter mix a high energy. Goof ball, sweet and great with family
I've got a 2 year old Blue Belton english setter. He's all business when hunting but other a silly goofball too. We love him, he's super gentle and sweet. Not too brave but does he ever love people.
Hello Christine how's the weather over there
I had a female English Setter that was a hunter and pet. She was a very loving dog and I always had gotten my bag limit of birds with her. Belle was good company when not hunting and enjoyed being with me,when I was at my favorite fishing spots or on a hike. If you have a chance getting a english setter pup go for it.
I've had 3 Brittany's so far. Great field dogs, great companions, great family dogs. I still mist up a little whenever I think of Murphy, the second one.
I’ve had two Brittany’s and waiting for my third right now!! I love them-great companion dog🐶. The wire-haired Griffon are lovely also!
I have had three Brittany's. Currently on my fourth. All are intelligent and lovable ❤️.
I’m in love with my Brittany
We have 2 Wirehaired, They are amazing dogs, we rescued them. Now they are our service dogs as we are old and needing their assistance.
Brittanys are the best! Love my Brittany!
Hello Jaymilyn how's the weather over there
I currently am dogless.
I raised and trained English/Elhew pointers, great breed, the best in my opinion, hunted over most of the others. I found them to be highly motivated and having great noses. I lost few crippled birds and they even catch birds like grouse without a shot being fired. Not easily trained due to their enthudiastic style. Bred for hunting from horseback, a walking hunter must work with them to keep them in close, but we'll worth the extra training. I used mine for waterfowwling as well. Results varied, but generally successful as duck dogs.
Formerly an avid bird hunter, there is nothing like the skilled dig well conditioned to hunt and retrieve. It makes for the best quality of hunting experience and I do miss it.
We have raised, trained, and hunted over quite a few of the breeds listed here. While both the Weimaraner and GSP are excellent in the field, they both have a strong prey drive when unattended and both can be destructive in the home without a great deal of exercise. Our favorite breed is the Irish Setter (of hunting lines, not bench setters) because of its natural abilities in the field, ability to shut down its energy when indoors, and its comedic personality.
Hello Renee how's the weather over there
I've owned irish setters. Wonderful dogs. Had trouble finding new one. Now i have an English setter. Great pointer very loyal n she's adopted!!
Try a Gordon next time.
What about the German Wirehair Pointer!? You showed a picture of one twice talking about the GSP. Just saying
Jason Glenn i saw that too. A GWP sure beats our a Weim....I have a Bracco Italiano and gwp. Great pointers.
I get my WPG in 4 weeks so my GWP will have a stepsister. One week after the WPG gets to the house the GWP goes to training so that should help with potty training we hope.
Yeah this video is kinda discredited as soon as it pictures GWP as GSP. GWP can be a slick coat, "buddy has one that is an amazing dog" but a GSP can't have a beard. Also the Deutsch Drahthaar is the most popular hunting dog in Germany which would say it is popular amongst hunters at least. I think the video didn't go off statistical numbers, maybe just Google or AKC searched.
Love all of these breeds. Have personally owned an Irish Setter and now have a Brittany pup. Such intelligent breeds. ❤️
Hello Jenine how's the weather over there
English Pointer. I had one and after his death no other breed has stimulated me to get one. If I decide I will keep on with an English Pointer as I trully believe has the strongest nose of all dogs...
I have 2 GSP and they are phenomenal. They are couch potatoes in the house and hard working dogs outside and love to hunt
We have two Vizsla's and we LOVE them.'
I love the Spinone so much fun to hunt with
I have a young GSP. Fabulous dog but lots of energy. Owner can’t be sedentary. I put a gps on her collar. I’ll walk 3 miles in the hills-she’ll do 10-12. Very good first bird season.
Hey Joe how's the weather over there
I own a Wirehaired Pointing Griffon and will replace her with another unless I go back to an Irish Setter. I have had 2 Wirehaired Pointing Griffons and one magnificent Irish Setter who was absolutely fantastic. He was a Great family dog, companion and hunting dog. Have lots of fantastic stories of both breeds.
Owned a Brittany and a Weimaraner. Both great dogs. Both smart, but the Brittany easier to train. More obedient. The Weimaraner was a rascal.
Love my 3 beautiful gsp’s, they are the best hunting dogs I have ever had. They are amazing at retrieving and pointing.
We have a German Shorthair pointer. Absolutely love her and she is so smart🐶❤️great for getting me pheasants. She looks like the puppy in pic
Hello Betty how's the weather over there
My Llewellyn setter is terrific hunter and house dog. Started pointing at 8 weeks.
I love German shorthaired pointers. Amazing dogs
Gsp’s amazing and big love balls they need alot of attention they follow one around everywhere and love the outdoors and the trill of the hunt
Brittany is such a great pointer and house pet in one.
Perfect size dogs. The French Brittany is a bit smaller w/ a smaller snout and they have the black gene which generally means a dark nose, lips, and darker eyes. Very good looking dog, wavy coat, a happy-go-lucky demeaner, very alert, very good watch dogs, dominant to most other dogs. I'm on my 3rd and 4th.
@@Shiloh_II I have a trip color french Brittany love this little girl.
My dad used to breed gsp an they were always his fav as it was for hunting dogs even though he did love the Britneys to. But German shorthairs were his love.
you will not have a more beautiful dog than a viszla
The Grey ghost is my favorite. I have 2 of them. Love this breed! Weimereiners are true hunters!
And one of the great ancessor of dobermann.
I have two Britanys, they look like the dark dog at 3:32. In the breed you can have “orange” and white dogs or “liver” and white dogs. Both of mine at “liver” and white!🐶🐾
I have a tri color french Brittany a loyal friend for ever.
My best friend has a Vizsla. He is such an adorable lovebug. He can run free on walks but is so easy to handle. A perfect dog for starters. Though I think that he is so easy to handle because she trains him for man trailing.
Thank you. You are now joining us and we LOVE vizslas!
Gordon Setters are the BEST DOGS EVER! Beautiful, sweet, and extremely intelligent. I can train my Gordon, "Ricochet" on names, words, commands in little time, and he remembers forever! Full of energy, always up for play, and gets along with everyone, one of my cats loves him. Inside the house he is calm, and he even hugs me if I cry at sad movies. Yes, he does chase birds, but he also lovingly brought in a baby pigeon that fell out of his nest and put him down carefully in a safe place in the house, refusing to leave him outside on the cold ground at night, saved the baby's life. What more could you ask for..
GSP never a doubt
Ayy a fellow GSP lover
GSP ❤️
Yaaas
No one:
Grey Ghost: Hold my beer
Weims are the ultimate goofs. Overall great personality and gautd dog.
They are the one of the smartest dog breed that I have ever owned. Perhaps more than an average lab .
Poodles would like to challenge them for the ultimate goof challenge....
Among the scenes with the German shorthaired pointers there were several German wirehaired pointers... a fantastic breed i missed among all those amazing breeds
The GWP is more versatile than the GSP. but all of these dogs are excellent, hunters it sort of depends on do you like short or long haired dogs.
@@williammawk1720 i have a GWP bitch for hunting. She's great!
I've had a GSP, Weimaraner, English Pointer and now a Vizla. They're all great breeds in their own way when it comes to hunting!
Have owned 3 English setters, and im thinking of getting a new one. Best family and hunting dogs I know of. But I’m maybe a bit biased ;)
Owned a German Shorthair,not trained,he was afraid of water! But the sweetest dog I ever knew. R.i.p. Rex.
My wife and I just rescued a puppy. He’s vizsla/lab mix. He’s ten weeks old and so smart. My wife and I both work on commercial fishing boats and she’s been taking him for day trips. He absolutely loves it.
GSPs are the absolute best dog to have. So full of love, and such great companions
We have two. The best.
Definitely loved the Irish, english and gordon setter, I do have dogs one of which recently passed away they are one from the toy breeds, however i did get to meet an Irish setter once and I fell in love with him the moment i saw him ever since then Ive been doing my research on the irish proceeded to learn about the english and the gordon and ever since then had my heart set on getting these breeds, and i have to say that the breeds of the setter family are the most beautiful dogs Ive ever seen
The ultimate watch dog breeds
I've had brittany's for 35 years and now I have a Wirehair Pointing Griffon love them both really surprise the brittany wasn't #1
No. 3 is pronounced Grif-fon and they definitely not low shedding! They are great dogs!
We have a Pitt Bull/German Short Hair Pointer, and she is the MOST loving dog and always ready to go. She will be 10 this year, but people tell us she looks and acts like a 4 year old. I have had many dogs and loved them all dearly, but this dog is the most loving dog ever!
Re the GSP: "They are up for any kind of outdoor activity." Or in the case of my GSP, she just wants to sleep in your spot on the bed all day.
I currently own an English Setter (Ryman) named Watson. He weighs 70-75 pounds. He points well but is so-so on retrieve.
