German Shorthaired Pointers

It is rare to find wrapped up in one package a staunchly pointing bird dog, a keen-nosed night trailer, a proven duck dog, a natural retriever on land and water, pleasing conformation and markings, great powers of endurance, and an intelligent family watchdog and companion. The German Shorthaired Pointer is such a dog and has earned its reputation as one of the most versatile of the sporting breeds. Equally at home hunting quail, grouse, duck, rabbits, coon and possum, it has also been used to trail and handle deer. It is biddable and does well in obedience and agility as well as being a 'show' dog in every sense of the word. Sometimes a high-energy dog, it is also a wonderful companion noted for its sound temperament and longevity.
