Ive been wanting a liver roan german shorthaired pointer for 4-5 years now, mainly because they are (in my opinion) one of the best looking dog breeds out there and up until this years quail season i never really got into bird hunting. Now that i tried quail hunting and love it im debating on getting this dog for a pet first, and a hunting dog second. Does anyone have any experience hunting a dog that you also treat like a pet? I didnt know if spoiling a dog as a pet might negativley affect hunting discipline and overall ability. Any advie is appreciated as always!
