I own a couple of pointers, 1 year age and 3 years.
I heard if you get a pointer to do retrievers work, you get an average retriever and a average pointing dog, it means, you ruin the dog. The pointer is just for pointing and retrieving the birds the he pointed.

I don�t know about this, my older pointer ocasionally hunts pigeon with me and I don�t see a problem in that.

What do u guys think about that ?

Own two dogs when one can do it just fine? That's the nuts! Whoever told you that has never heard of NAVHDA or German shorthairs, wirehairs, viszlas, Brittany Spaniels, Kleine Munsterlanders, etc, etc, etc. Silly damned idea, that.

i have a lot of dogs and i use my pointers and retievers and pointers of course this not correct but they do both things in an excellent manner.juan
