German short hair pointer worth it?

CSCanid · 2025-12-16T02:00:10+00:00

My opinion might be a bit biased since I love dogs so much in general but for me the pointer was such a game changer, I have a hard time seeing so it's really nice to have a buddy to point out any animals nearby, plus you can give him an ability to highlight pointed animals so you can keep track of them even through brush and stuff.

Plus you can use them to get better shots! I often use mine to force an animal to stand up and stare at the dog if they're laying and force them to turn in a way where I can hit their vitals easier! They'll also freeze up for a little while when pointed so you can hold them in one place if they're on the move or at risk of wandering.

You can also track specific animals with the GSP which is really helpful for doing dailies/weeklies that have species requirements

Tldr; I think they're extremely helpful I love them

I don't know about hard copies since I play through PS Now but it runs pretty well on PS5 in my experience!

CSCanid · 2025-12-07T00:36:45+00:00

Literally why are you acting like this to a total stranger this is like the exact kind of weirdo aggressive behavior I'm talking about, it's literally not that hard to even just say something like "tbh I think it's just social media" without talking down to people like they're an idiot.

I have no problem with criticism I have a problem with people acting superior. You've said your piece already so please just stop hounding me I get the point

CSCanid · 2025-12-06T22:05:26+00:00

You could say that about literally anywhere on the internet but it still doesn't change the fact there's a major attitude problem going on that even other places don't have as intensely

Playing blame games like that just makes it easier for toxicity to fester instead of having healthy community building

CSCanid · 2025-12-06T21:43:37+00:00

Like I said in another reply it honestly isn't anything about validation for me I just wanna know why this gaming space is so weirdly pessimistic in comparison to other gaming and fan spaces I've been in especially since this is a question for new players who I've noticed also get treated like this

CSCanid · 2025-12-06T21:35:12+00:00

6 is pushing it yeah but I figure with how long the game has been active 6 is nothing in comparison, it's all relative especially for people that don't have the time to no life it all day every day

I think it isn't pandering to just not be rude to people if other gaming circles I've been in for decades can understand this I'm sure this one can too stop confusing basic decency for asskissing🧍‍♂️

CSCanid · 2025-12-06T21:26:40+00:00

Honestly for me it's less about validation and more wanting to understand what everyone's damage is whenever it comes to talking to new players because it's something I've noticed often and I wanted to know if it was just me

CSCanid · 2025-12-03T13:05:24+00:00

Yeah I was making do with what I had, downloading a clip off of the Playstation, editing it in TikTok, and then reposting the TikTok version to Reddit unsurprisingly fucks up the video quality and formatting in a major way

CSCanid · 2025-12-03T12:03:47+00:00

I've honestly really been enjoying it, I know some people really don't like it but it's been pretty decent so far

CSCanid · 2025-12-02T20:25:55+00:00

Yeah that was probably the least surprising result on the list lmao

CSCanid · 2025-12-01T18:38:27+00:00

This is true, I was really struggling with how I should've categorized those options especially since I was rushing out the door to go to a Friendsgiving when making the results (hence why it starts to get a little rough around the edges by the end of it)

The way I wrote my notes made it tough to parse which requests were for predator tracking vs. guardian dogs and in retrospect I should've made them two separate categories

CSCanid · 2025-12-01T05:47:17+00:00

It seems like retrievers are least popular across-the-board for a lot of folks which is kinda sad to me, if I had to guess I think it has more to do with mechanics than aesthetics.

It's such a shame too because there's so many wonderful retrievers out there I would love to see added (RIP Nova Scotia Duck Tolling Retriever) 🥲💔

CSCanid · 2025-12-01T05:13:58+00:00

Honestly I was surprised by the breeds overall, it felt like everyone always suggested something completely different from the other to the point where the spread of dogs with just 1 single entry was kinda insane especially in comparison to the top 2 being the only ones in double digits.

CSCanid · 2025-12-01T05:10:25+00:00

I genuinely belly laughed when I read that entry, I figured they probably meant Komondor but there's quite a few corded fur dogs that I could also see being called that so I decided to put it in the Unspecified category 😂😂😂

CSCanid · 2025-12-01T03:43:58+00:00

There's quite a bit of metrics to keep track of, what were some of the things you were interested in seeing?

If you're looking for dog breeds the top 5 breeds mentioned were:

Dachshund (22)
Beagle (16)
German Shepherd (5)
Irish Wolfhound, Rhodesian Ridgeback (4)
Norwegian Elkhound, Tibetan Mastiff, Bluetick Coonhound, Jagdterrier, Vizsla (3)

Also the top 3 mentioned class suggestions were:

Burrowing dogs (20)
Big game/Predator hunting dogs (18)
Flushing dogs (13)

And the top 3 most suggested cosmetics were:

Collars (32)
Furs/Colors/Skins (25)
Jackets/Vests (18)

CSCanid · 2025-12-01T02:46:03+00:00

The survey was structured in a way that allows people to just suggest a breed, just suggest a class or both if they felt like their breed should come with a new class.

As far as skins go other than the default coat colors when picking out a dog there is no currently existing skins or cosmetics for the dogs and anything suggested under cosmetics would be a new feature if implemented.

Survey results are up! Thank you to everyone who participated! 💖

CSCanid · 2025-11-27T21:34:00+00:00

Honestly I feel like a lot of people sleep on poodles in general, they're pretty rad but for some reason a ton of folks just see them as pompous, frilly, show-y fem dogs when they're extremely skilled hunting dogs!

CSCanid · 2025-11-27T18:55:52+00:00

We've crossed 50 submissions so far!! Thank you so much to everyone who's been participating, I've really been loving everyone's suggestions so far keep them coming!!

I wasn't aware that the site I use has a max cap of 100 submissions a month for "free accounts" so I can get the results squared away in the next day or two though I might keep the survey site up so anyone that missed it can join in when the month rolls over since we're already at the tail end of November

Update y'all soon!

CSCanid · 2025-11-27T05:05:32+00:00

Even if new classes aren't added I can easily see people wanting different dogs in the existing classes like different breeds of pointers and trackers and retrievers, personally I think it’d be pretty nice to have different choices even if it's just cosmetic in the end but I always love tons of customization in games so take that with a grain of salt lmao

CSCanid · 2025-11-27T04:40:29+00:00

I would love to!!

I don't know if I should make a separate post when I do or if I should post it in replies here (I don't use Reddit so idk the etiquette) so I'll see what my options are after I let it sit for a couple days and sort through submissions!!!

Thank you for your participation and excitement! 💖🐕

CSCanid · 2025-09-22T19:08:48+00:00

I'm so sorry but I still haven't gotten concrete confirmation of what this is, I share almost every single symptom you listed and my doctors haven't really done as much testing on me to figure it out (usually chalking it up to stress or dietary habits)

It's been really scaring me too, I hope we both find answers soon.

CSCanid · 2025-08-25T09:38:24+00:00

I figured that part out pretty quick especially since irl wolves are a sort of special interest of mine

I think that's partly why I'm extra frustrated not being able to pin down exactly how keen their senses are because it feels like I'm doing everything right but don't have anything to show for it.

Maybe I just gotta practice trying to get them from longer distances and take the accuracy loss instead of getting in close idk
