Started or Finished English Pointer Wanted

[muncylabman]

Hey guys I am looking to purchase a started or finished English Pointer to hunt with. I have bred and trained my own labs for about 17 years but I want to try a new breed and don't have the time, place or inclination to train anymore. My son is starting to hunt and I want to be able to have him hunt behind a good dog. Anyone know of any? Please let me know, susquehannaretriever@comcast.net and thanks!

I don't know of any right off hand but I would check out the outdoor news. They usually have a variety of dogs in there.

since you are in PA you might want to check w/ Warriorsmark kennels. i got my english pointer pup from there. and sometimes they have started dogs also. i was just up there today, so i wish i would have saw this before then i could have asked them for you. they are nice people and have great dogs.
also i know a guy who is training an english setter that he is going to sell as a started dog and that dog is from that kennel and has a great bloodline.
good luck to you and keep us updated.

A little word of caution, perhaps un-needed. There is going to be a big difference in the way a pointer from field trail lines compared labs, like Miller lines hunt. Overall, I say that english pointers are the most birdy dogsaround with the most natural pointing instinct but FT'ers like them bold and independant. If you get such a dog, it's going to take you acouple ofyears for the dog to learn tothe 'ideal' range to huntfor the cover type.
