no expert on pointing lab but from what i am reading ,lab ground scents.i assume a pointing lab does too.
pointing breeds air scent .but gsp uses his nose on ground too.

top trainer which i e-mailed last week told me that GSP he does not like for that reason.same with lab.
he rec a setter as they hold their head up and catch air scent not ground.
i like lab but i may get setter next time as most of my hunting is for grouse/pheasants.

but i like lab the best all around dog for woods/home.
if i could handle 2 dogs it would be setter/lab
