Pointers ,I dont know but there is a member here importing a new one also,Pointer may be able to elaborate more on Pointer breeding .GSPs Ive seen plenty work well at Pigeon trials but few venture to live game -in saying that the ones Ive seen have hunted well .Wirehairs ,no idea but need an experienced rider to get the best lol
Springers , cockers and labs type dogs -no idea at at all and have not watched to many do their thing -talking with Bob the other day he said there was some good dogs around -that wwas just after he sent me packing in my trial ..I cooked him breakfast gave him lunch ..what more can a man do LOL

I didn;t say no one at trials was breeding good dogs... i said the trials themselves were no longer much of a breeding tool. By that I mean that is meant to be their intended purpose... but it doesn;t really fill that function anymore.

As for Bob, you could try wine vouchers.. but realistically... only good work wins him over.
