I've read and been told the average guy will have the most success with a GSP. Makes since. Same is true of retrievers. The GSP is the Lab of the pointer world. They don't win trials and stay popular because they aren't good dogs.
Weims are cool looking dogs but, you gotta find what floats your boat, not someone elses'.
I have Chessies. they are harder to train than labs but, they float my boat.....
