Why Pointers:
-
We chose the Pointer, because they are the
ultimate quail dog. Nothing looks more refined and majestic then a well
broke, stylish Pointer standing on point. That is the reason the Pointer is
known for being the king of bird dogs.

-
Many people have said that Pointers run to
big or that Pointer owners are crazy. I have found that there is a great
variance in range in the Pointer breed. Some Pointer lines are All-Age dogs
and some are Shooting dogs, on the odd occasion I have seen some that are
classified as boot lickers, but for the most part I have seen a good hunting
range within the breed. As a old timer once told me, "You can always pull a
dog in with a check cord but, I have never seen one pushed out with one!"
How true this is, in some breeds it is the norm for dogs to run not more
then 15 yards in front of the handler, and I challenge you to send a dog
like that 100 yards down to a fence line to work. I hunt in big open
country, and my dogs cover much more ground then I do. I can not imagine
needing to walk my dog into a covey of birds that would be in shooting range
anyway. My dog covers the ground so I don't need to.
