I have a six year old German Shorthair that is a great hunting dog. She has a very gentle personality and has been great with my family. Pointers by nature are kinda “high strung” but with exercise and attention they are a very good family dog.

It’s more than unfortunate…one shot and a life time of regret, someone looses a beloved family member. I agree that you need to be sure of what you are shooting at and your background. Let’s all be extra careful out there.
