IMO, the best pointer is the one that is inyour yard,from Brittany'sto Weimeraner's (I have neither). I have a Chocolate Lab that from upland bird to waterfowl no amount of money could buy, I also have a GSP that I can't say the same thing for, but he's only 11 weeks old and I like what I see so far in his ability to pick up on basic commands at this age.

With good breeding and alot of time spent, you can't go wrong with any breed. I have seen some impressive Elhews in my neck of the woods, can't say if I would go down that road or not, but they were impressive.

Take your time and be choosyabout breeder's, Good Luck -
