The German Short-haired Pointer is of Spanish origin,
probably derived through crossing the Spanish Pointer
with a scenthound to produce a versatile gundog that
would both point and trail. English Foxhound blood
is also believed to have been added.
The German Short-haired Pointer is a powerful,
strong, and versatile hunting dog. It is equally at
home on land or in the water, and excellent at
working wildfowl and most game. It also makes a
good household pet, provided that it receives enough
exercise. It is easy to train, usually good with children,
and does not require a lot of grooming. |
