OT for cat lovers: You should have Googled Minipanthers instead. You would have discovered Bombays - world's cutest breed of all-black cats. Very tactile, inquisitive, playful, and affectionate without being annoying/ cloying. One of ours does a feline version of a rolypoly on the floor, the other loves to lick the toothpaste and soap dispensers.

http://www.germanlonghairpointerbreeders.com/ http://www.germanlonghairpointers.com/index.cfm just googled german long hair pointer breeds certainly have unique temperments/personalities and qualities, but temperment also varies widely within each breed. My two Shepherds have very different personalities. Breed is a better indicator of ...oh, call them "value added instincts" than personality. For example, pointers will point as early as 5 weeks with no training. A German Shepherd will never point at 5 weeks without training...and it would be dumb to try to train them to do it. Labs love water...not sure about chihuahuas. SO, they suggest you always try to get a good look at both parents (often difficult to do) to learn a little about their temperment. There are also puppy temperment tests which give a pretty good indication of what you're in for. These tests are highly developed (although not necessarily complicated) as they use them to select puppies for various EXPENSIVE training programs (seeing eye dogs, for example) and they try to select for exactly what they want BEFORE spending alot of money on rearing and training.

The GWP (Drahthaar) is supposed to be a bit more assertive than a GSP, and the female my father had was. When a realtor stuck his head in the kennel to check them out, it was the GWP that tried to take it off. If I were exercising them together, it would be the GWP that decided to head for the hills (with my GSP bitch in hot pursuit, but she rarely started the adventure). I learned to make sure I had the key to the CB650 in my pocket before I turned them off-lead. If I didn't head them off before they hit the woods 3/8 of a mile away, I might not see them again for a while (usually 1-3 hours for the GSP, but the GWP once took off for 3 days). That GSP was 8 years old before I could move her inside with me, and I decided I'd not kennel a dog outside again if I could help it. They just don't get enough attention that way, especially in the winter.
