Hello,

I am going to add my two cents worth, and say that a GSP, or German Shorithair Pointer should be your first dog. I got my just over a year ago, and havent looked back on it. Its a male, and I have had a lot of fun with him.

Keep in mind though, that training a bird dog of what ever type is a lot of time and commitment. All the dogs that have been metioned are a lot of fun, and a lot of energy. These are hunting breeds and need to be ' run' almost daily.

Make sure you do your homework when it comes to hunting dogs, make sure you find one that suits your needs ect. Good Luck and I wish you the best of luck.
