I'm married and have a now 6 year old son so having dogs that do well with children is important to me as well. I have 2 labs (8 and 9 yrs old), 1 GSP (3 1/2 yrs old) and 1 GWP (3 1/2 months old). As everyone knows labs are great with kids so I won't talk about them since you seem interested in a pointer. The GSP is a male and in does very well with my son, however he is super hyper when we first get home or he sees someone new but when we are watching tv or lounging inside all he does is jump up on the recliner and curl up in a ball between my legs. He sleeps on our bed at night and always has to be curled up against my wife or I. He is a phenomenal hunter and his drive keeps him going all day. In my opinion he might listen better in the field than my hard headed lab. We just picked up a GWP and so far I'm impressed with his personality/temperament in the house. He isn't the destructive puppy like I expected he would be. Yes he likes to chase the GSP around and play but when he is in the house he loves to just curl up on you and sleep. He is super laid back for a puppy and the old GWPs I've been around are no different. If I was in your shoes I'd go for a GWP and call it a day. They are loyal companions, great with kids and can handle the harsh ND environment. They are versatile as well in that they do upland and waterfowl equally well. Good luck in your search!</p></blockquote><p></p>
