Anyone with German Longhair Pointer experience?

[Bob Brown]

I was wondering if anyone on the site has experience with or has hunted with GLPs? We haven't had a hunting dog since our last Lab passed almost 5 years ago and it feels like time. I've had Labs and a Springer in the past, but never a pointer. After hunting over a great GSP I've thought about getting one, but wanted a breed a bit better suited for Canadian weather. For upland I would mostly be hunting for grouse, occasionally sharptails. Probably some early season ducks over decoys as well. The litter I'm looking at is by two German imports.
