Is that a "yes" DocE? I saw that original post but posted mine because I think alot of people here would appreciate their traits and the fact that they make good house pets too.
I figured I'd post some links I found useful in my search for the pointer pup. If these are already known ignore them, but these sites helped put me in a position to ask about specific dogs in the pup's pedigree and double check what the breeder was saying. The first link may be useful to all dog buyers, the second only to pointer people:
