Thread: German Short haired pointer

Well this might seem against the run of play but i reckon Ryan has done bloody well with Quinn. I don;t have a high opinion of pigeon trials for pointers and setters but that aside you can;t do much more than win them and you have done that including a North island i believe. I gave my opinion early on because my experience with GWP's and most all breeds of dogs is that when working blood from their country of origin is brought in it is better than what is here... usually... hasn;t applied to springers so far, well not for 25 years but we keep trying.... however... A friend who I rate very highly saw my recommendation and gave his view. he is the most respected dog person I know and I respect his opinion on that basis i changed mine and have to be fair and say my first recommendation was, based on that wrong. My comment "Buyer Beware" was not intended as a slight, b ut more a warning to do your homework, make sure you are getting what you want. There are several suggestions on here, no one takes my word as gospel and they will make their own choices.

Contrary to how you see it Ryan, because we have VERY different views on things, does mean we have to be at odds. I'd still drink a beer with you and you might find interesting what I have to say, As I am sure I would what you had to say, we may agree on nothing, but then, that's what whiskey is for... let it go, if you can;t don;t worry... my last post on the subject. Good luck with them. I genuinely do respect your passion.
