Thanks for your note. I’m an English Pointer guy, 100%. I would recommend getting one. Once you get used to watching one hunt, it’s hard to walk behind any other breed (except maybe an English Setter). When an EP goes on point it POINTS. There’s a real intensity there that’s thrilling to see.

Of course, I haven’t seen every Britt out there. There may be some that are just as dynamic, intense and athletic in field. I haven’t seen any, though.

EPs do shed. I don’t remember if my Britt did shed.

Thanks

Great site! You are on my favorites.
Hey, since you had a britt and now have an english pointer I thought I would ask your thoughts on the differences. I may be looking for a dog shortly. I have always been a lab man since I used to do a lot of duck hunting. Over the years that has changed to bow hunting and grouse hunting. I had been without a dog for a number of years but for the last 10 months have been taking care of a beautiful lab for an owner that is out of the country. I only have her for 7 more weeks and I’m realizing how much I like having her around. So it may be time for a new dog. What I would like is a smaller breed that would work well in the house. My wife would prefer one that doesn’t shed. I would like a close working dog for grouse that is family friendly since I’m also hoping for grandkids in a few years. Your thoughts?
