 German Shorthaired Pointer
The German Shorthaired Pointer was developed in Germany in the middle 1800's. The average German hunter could not afford several sporting dogs so they needed one all purpose hunting dog that had a good nose, was reliable in water retrieval, aggressive toward predators and very obedient. Several German and possibly French scent hounds were crossed with Spanish Pointers, and those dogs bred to English Pointers.

By 1911, the type was standardized and fame spread. The breed met the goal of being a versatile gun dog, excellent hunting dog with a keen nose and sharp eyes, webbed feet and very obedient. The German Shorthaired Pointer trails, points and retrieves on both land and water.

In the 1920's, the German Shorthaired Pointer arrived in America and by 1930 they were recognized by the American Kennel Club.

Males should be 23 to 25 inches tall and weigh 55 to 70 pounds. Females should be 21 to 23 inches tall and weigh 45 to 60 pounds. They have short thick coats and can be Solid liver, liver and white spotted, liver and white spotted and ticked; liver and white ticked, the same variations with black instead of liver.

Health concerns include Hip Dysplasia, entropion and epilepsy.
