Let the individual animal answer
Meet the nature,

A German Shorthaired Pointer profile can help you ask better questions. It cannot tell you how a particular animal feels around children, copes with solitude, responds to touch or moves through a new home. Meet slowly, listen to the people who know them, and leave room for a different-looking animal to be the better fit.
