From your pics, theres not a lot of 'pointer' in your pup as such, more the german pointing breeds.

BushHunter, Forget the Spaniel breeds and the Pointer (and when I say Pointer, I mean the one commonly called an English pointer, even though tis true name is just Pointer) for deer work. While there are indivisuals of both breeds that will do it, they are the exception, and probably poor examples of their breed. If you want to use another pointing breed for deer, such as Vizsla, GSP then go and look at a lot of dogs before you commit.

I'd say Lab, but as mentioned above it may be a case of retraining your missus. Nothing is irreparable, just be prepared to put a fair bit of work into her to get her right again. Good luck
