i have a wirehair pointer , and a short hair pointer and a golden retreiver , they are all great dogs , the pointers are insane with energy , really smart and free thinking but they WILL follow their noses instead of your commands unless you spend a ton of time training them , as far as a family dog i doubt you can find a better dog . my wirehair is very clingy and when i leave he used to have seperation issues but he grew out of it for the most part . if you get a pointer you need to have a sense of humour and lots of patience , and they definately dont respond well to negative attention.
