A Setter will love you and your children. always being non agressive.
No Matter What.
Alotbetter bird dog for wild quail.May not be the right choice if you want something to run loose. A GSP is a better preserve dog for the most. Closer, retrieves better, some may work for waterfowl.
However, our American GSP has been breed to English Pointers to devolpe a better, more natural bird dog. Pointers are more aggressive and most of them i would never allow in the house, much less be around my kids.
You really need to think about how much you will actually hunt. Some folks buy a dog thinking they are going to hunt alot. When the facts are they have not hunted in manyyears oronly go a few times,and will more than likely not have a chance to get away to hunt except for aonce or twice a year.
Is that really fair for a true hunting breed.
I Think Not.
