German or English? Questions

Germans tend to make things of good qaulity compared to the English..... be that dogs, appliances, or cars!

It must be why I have had 5 german dogs, and my vacuum cleaner, fridge, freezer, washing machine etc are all german too!

well in that case then im going for the weimaraner i love love love them, and cant wait to have one of my own

English all the way, such elegant dogs, love them.;-)

Disagree, we English make some very good dogs I will have you know;-)

Along with cars... appliances.....well I`ll give you that

I prefer German Pointers (shorthair) over English Pointers, I don't like the faces on the English.

German if it's just against pointers (we don't put English in front of the name) but if it is all "bird dogs", and I had only moor work to do, I think I would go with the english setter. If I had moor work and shooting, I would want an hpr and that would have to be a gwp.

German GSP that was not a hard choice, but I'm not knocking the working pointers tho, as I'm sure they very at good at what they've been bred for.

Fav hpr GSP.

The English Pointer is the most elegant, loyal, affectionate, rewarding dog to own and train. I will defend them to the end! I know I'm swimming against the tide here, but I think the German pointers look a little coarse and thick set in comparison with THE Pointer.

No your not you`ve got one admirer here, and completely agree, such an elegant dog, all the ones I have known are such fab dogs..

Good for you I don't know a lot about pointers (and I'm sure I've got more to learn about GSPs too) but I see what you're saying, I hope I'm not just saying the obvious here (? ) and I agree to a certain extent and there are some GSPs that I would not describe as elegant and a few are a bit short and chunky.
In germany they need a bit of substance and to be a reasonable size but with out being thick set to do all the work they are expected to do as they are not just hunting small game ;-)
I'd like to watch pointers work though so I can get a better idea of them working as I've only really seen them at shows and just photos of them working.

I prefer the German to the English, though i do like the English.
My favourite HPR is the Vizsla

You are not alone. I think the same about the English Pointer - a true aristocrat among dogs and they keep their tails on.

So far we're Germany 9, England 3.

I'm going to have to work out how to get photos up to rustle up some more support for the Pointer.....

Photobucket - upload photos, then there should be 4/5 boxes underneath the photo when you put your mouse over it.. click the last box (should copy automaticly) then paste on here


Wait I just told you how to upload the opposition

Doesn't seem to happen on the touch screen of the iPad. Maybe Apple are on your side.....

I have a laptop lol... just click copy it should work

I think I've found a way of doing it. Here's Saba doing what Pointers do best...looking pompous. (it was the day after her knee op)

Another vote for the Pointer here. Might be a little biased though.

How handsome is that face?
