I have read online about German Short-hair pointers and English pointers...they seem very similar except most GSP get docked tails and the English pointer doesn't.  I think the EP is taller too...

Does anyone know any other differences, personality, ect..

EP's have short hair too right?

Taken from my book, "TO THE POINT a tribute to Pointing Dogs."

Author Dale C. Spartas and Tom Davis.

Pointers are indifferent toward retrieving, although there are some pointers who will retrieve like a lab. No breed hits its birds harder and faster that the Pointer. They run high on one speed in the wide open fields with the hunters on horse back.  Pointers have a reputation fo being cool, aloof and undemonstrative. They regard their owners/handlers/ trainers not so much as friends but as facilitators or business partners. Temperamentally better suited to this impersonal professional relationship. One of the biggest reasons thye'er preferred by field trail trainers.

Never have been around a Pointer, but would be fun and an honor to meet one.

When I adopted Chelsea, I was told she might have some EP mixed in--she is the white with liver mask in my avatar.  Her coat is REALLY short and she is a little bit aloof compared to the other GSPs I've had.  (Her muzzle, side view, is also a little more squared due to slightly heavier flews.)  She is also the  most obsessively prey-oriented.  However, when she is in the mood she is also very playful and affectionate, so if she is a mix, she worked out fine.   I guess I'll  keep her (adopted 2001). 

She looks like she's wearing a burglar's mask!

Yes, its the slightly squarer nose that makes me suspect they were right about Chelsea, and that barely-there coat.  She's also extremely sensitive, which I've heard is also an EP characteristic--one cross word and she shrinks all up. 

Alot depends on the lines too. Elhew EP are bred to be foot hunting family dogs. When Robert "made" this line he didnt have AA dogs in his mond he had a nice foot hunting dog and used trials to grade these dogs. Therefore your Elhew EP is going to be alot calmer and more level in the house compared to some of the bigger running AA field trial bred dogs.

The same can be said about GSP's you look at some of the foot hunting lines and compare them to some of the bigger running trial dogs that are high strung and bred to run and they will be a little harder in the house as well.

That being said there are exceptions and every dog is different.

If you are looking for a pointer I would siggest looking at a Elhew or Elhew x Gaurdrail breeding.

15 yrs ago my wife noticed this guy hanging round a fast food joint way too skinny. I had asked her a few days earlier if we could get a dog. She brought him home to me and he lived with us for 13 yrs. We named him "Bonz" due to the condition she found him in. I know everyone thinks they had the best one but Bonz REALLY was the best dog in the world ever. Here he is at 13 yrs old. Over weight and totally blind. WAAAAAY more laid back than Dexter.
