I've had English Pointers, I have a Vizsla now that lives in the house and has been an awsome hunting companion but his age is showing and he can only hunt a couple of hours a day now.
For my next upland dog I'm going to buy 2 out of the same litter. I really like this Vizsla but I am one that likes to try different breeds (as far as pointing dogs). All of my hunting consists of pheasants and quail.
These dogs will be outside dogs (indoor/outdoor kennel heated in winter).
I've narrowed it down to either GSP's or English Setters. I like the Setters because I think they are very stylish on point. But, how do these two breeds do when they have to get into the cover and really hunt and root around? My Vizsla is a tireless hunter and really gets in a roots around and thats what I really like in a dog.
What are some of the pro's and cons of these breeds?
