We don't have a pointer now, but had one years ago. Our smartest dog ever, a wonderful guy, very much missed, a GSHP.

Back when I had energy: showed him a couple of times bench (he was oversized, and not a fan), did obedience, and AKC hunt tests. Our only pointer, and didn't train for hunting correctly. 'Get him on birds first', a very bad idea. Then, couldn't get 'whoa' as he needed for the tests. Embarrassing, but funny.
He was a stubborn German, and so am I. We spent over a year in open obedience, one class after another, until he finally believed that I meant each command EVERY TIME.
He was the typical perpetual motion machine pointer, so much energy! Wears me out thinking about him now.
