I've been looking into a german shorthair and just wondering what info you fine 'gents may be able to offer. There's not great bird hunting around me, but a little is available. Are they a good dog for a pet and hunting dog?

Any specific things to look at when selecting a pup?
How are they in general as pets? (i.e. temperment, good with kids yes or no?)


Thanks guys.
