Easy, I've had the pleasure of owning a German Shorthair many years ago. Many have said that God blesses a hunter with one great dog during a life time. Windy was that kind of dog. I haven't owned another dog since. I used her for retrieving doves; teal, mild weather duck hunting and woodcock. She was deadly on woodcock; pointed, flushed on command and retrieved. Hard to find a more gentle and loyal dog that hunts. Had her in a kennel at first but later she became a house member with her own special rug in the living room.
Easy to train, smart as they come with a ton of natural abilities in backing and pointing. Love to have another just like her. Be sure to look at pups from hunting stock! Be sure not to get one that has too much bloodhound features with long floppy ears! I prefer the darker brown on brown spots for concealment reasons. Good luck on your quest!
