In the late 1800s, German breeders bred the first German Shorthaired Pointers as companion dogs and all-round hunting dogs. Today, the highly-active and energetic GSP is one of the world’s most accomplished hunting and sporting breeds, and for many, a beloved family pet.

A German Shorthaired Pointer is one of the most versatile hunting dogs in the world
Originally bred to be instinctual hunters, these multitasking dogs have been used to track rabbits, raccoons, birds of prey, and even deer.
German Shorthaired Pointers are adept at finding prey if it’s nearby
Having been bred to hunt, GSPs have razor-sharp instincts for anything that could be prey, such as squirrels, birds, or rabbits. As a result of this prey drive, they may bolt during off-leash exercise or scale fences or walls in pursuit of their prey. Off-leash exercise should be approached with caution and awareness of the surroundings and be conducted in a well-secured area.
An endless source of energy, German Shorthaired Pointers are a joy to own
A quick walk after work is not an option for this dog. GSPs need serious exercise: running, swimming, long walks, playing in a fenced area, and anything else you can think of to keep them calm. GSPs require two daily sessions of ample physical activity, but there is no such thing as too much exercise.
