Nevafollo Posted May 7, 2012 Share Posted May 7, 2012 (edited) I'd go the GSP... but then i have a soft spot for all types of pointers I am currently training my English pointer boy in Obedience and then hopefully aglity and I am loving it. He is from european feild lines and hes got a completely different energy to my girls, he is so fun to train and whilst he doesnt pick up on things the same way my friends aussie do its great watching him learn and progress!!!

Kavik Posted May 7, 2012 Share Posted May 7, 2012 If your aim is agility and obedience, go to some trials and watch the different working styles, talk to the owners of successful dogs. For obedience any of those 3 breeds would be fine. For agility I would probably lean towards the GSP as being the best build for speed and less injuries. Of course the ferrari of agility dogs is the Border Collie :D but lots of other breeds do agility very well. I agree with this (though I prefer Kelpies :D ) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RiverStar-Aura Posted May 7, 2012 Share Posted May 7, 2012 Belgian Sheps are also fantastic at agility so I'd have those on my list!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
helen Posted May 8, 2012 Share Posted May 8, 2012 I think a GSP would be better build for agility, but I would recommend going to a dog show and meet dogs of both breeds and talk to some breeders, that should help in your decision Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
