Can we talk about the German Shorthaired Pointer? It's a bit strange and annoying that when you send the dog out to look for small game, it always falls behind. It's useless to have a dog that indicates the position of the animals if I'm ahead of the dog because it barely moves. It should act in all three cases like it does with large animals, going ahead of the hunter and alerting him if there's something. If it's behind, it's the same as not having a dog at all. Anyone who hunts with a dog knows what I'm talking about.
