RE: Breeds you have owned, own, and opinions
When you talk about dogs being crossed or pure bred. Here is what has happened over the last 40 years.
English Pointers have beenbred with walker hounds to make them run harder
German Shorthairs have beenbred with EP to put more bird sense, drive to them and more run
Briitanys have been bred by Setters to create a horseback dog
A Pointing Lab is a English Pointer and Lab Cross that looks like a lab all that looked like pointers were culled
The most winning Setter of all time (his dad was a Pointer)
