German Shorthaired Pointer
Overview
German Shorthaired Pointers were originally a cross-breed between Spanish Pointers and Bloodhounds. They were originally developed in the 19th century for hunting, and are a versatile hunting breed. They have powerful strong legs, that allow them to move quickly through land and water. They have long, high-set floppy ears and a long broad muzzle. The GSP’s coat is short, thick, and water-repellent, and comes in solid brown or a combination of brown and white. They are friendly, smart, and easy to please. As they are very social, they do not enjoy being left alone for long periods of time.
