German Shorthaired Pointer Breed Review by Olimpia

I have had my GSP since he was 8 weeks old, he turn 3 this fall. I am absolutely in love with him. He is gentle with all children and friendly with adults. He has tons of energy for our hikes and trips, and he was easy to train at home. This breed is excellent for energetic outdoorsy families . He has never shown an ounce of aggression, and he is by far my favorite kid.

My wife and I have had 5 GSP’s we have hunted, competed and judged in AKC gun dog trials . These dogs are great house hogs, loving ,easy to train and extremely loyal. Terrific bird dogs on grouse, woodcock and pheasants . They respond well to strong training and hunt close in heavy brush if carefully trained

German Shorthaired Pointer Breed Review by Ray Stoltzfus

I’m on my second GSP now. I had one as a boy and now as a middle aged man. I can’t say enough good things about this breed. Intelligent, energetic, cuddly, loyal, friendly, eager to please and etc., etc., etc. They are brave and protective yet can be gentle as a lamb with children. If you train them early during puppyhood they can even be great with cats. Go figure! These dogs are absolutely and unequivocally the best all around breed. However, I will warn you, they do not like to be alone. So either get another dog or a cat as a buddy while your away. They are very high energy. So don’t be lazy! If you’re a lazy person DO NOT get one of these dogs. They will drive you bonkers. Get a basset hound instead. For those of us that love the outdoors and trail running or hunting and such these are fabulous wonderful creatures.

Had one many years ago. Wonderful dog! Friendly and outgoing. A lab/GSP mix, but a breeder involved in the show circuit mistook her as purebred. While I didn't train her for hunting, when out walking in fields she would circle ahead left, then right, and was a natural pointer. A bit nippy as a pup but matured to have a very soft mouth. Highly trainable, but I never figured out to stop her from jumping. She wouldn't jump on people; she would bounce in place beside them! Absolutely hilarious, although it unnerved more than one delivery person. (She could leap in place pretty high.) So yes, very high energy but also very smart. However, despite her having webbed feet - not sure if that's a GSP trait - she was not fond of getting her feet wet.

German shorthaired pointers are an amazing breed. Very high energy, not for someone who lacks time or energy for the dog. But the reward of ownership of these living animals is amazing!

We purchased one and she is amazing. She is very energetic and loves to swim. She is sweet and gets along with everyone that comes up. When she sees another dog all she wants to do is be friends and play!! So glad we got this breed of dog and TOTALLY recommend them!!

Our family has owned several German Shorthaired pointers over the years. They are a loyal dog with energy to spare. They're not a breed for anyone who doesn't have time to spend outdoors with them. They require a lot of exercise to keep them happy. I would highly recommend them for anyone who loves the outdoors.

German Shorthaired Pointer Breed Review by Kira

This breed has been in my family for years, and every dog we've owned has been a loving member of the family. Our most recent German Shorthaired Pointer dog is now 7, and she's still as active and loving as ever! If you want one of these dogs, it's definately a good idea to have a large back yard, or to live somewhere with a lot of open land. They're running dogs, so they need to get lots of exercise. My family has never used our dogs for hunting, in fact, we never really truly trained them if I remember correctly. They don't really need much training either! As a puppy, you have to do the traditional potty traing with them and all the basics. But otherwise, not much more I don't believe! We also tend to not groom... basicaly ever. As the description says, they do shed a lot, so try not to wear black too often if you get a white dog. These dogs tend to never misbehave, are very loyal, and are extreamly forgiving. I've had other breeds of dogs, but the German Shorthaired Pointer is my favorite.

I bought 2 excellent german shorthaired pointers from a Lancaster (Amish) breeder (Hammertown Kennels) and I can say without a doubt that they were the 2 best hunting shorthairs I owned out of all 4 I have had in my lifetime (the other 2 were not from the Amish). I deal with Hammertown Kennels. I would highly recommend Sylvan Zook from Hammertown. He is honest and friendly and gave me vet records and health guarantees and both puppies passed Vet checks with absolutely no problems.. He called to follow up on the puppies and keeps in touch with his customers. And yes they may have been in a barn, on hay or straw bedding.. its no big deal.. but might be a problem for city folks not used to the farm! When it comes to hunting shorthairs I swear by Amish barn dogs any day of the week! In the past I always dealt directly with Mr. Zook so I have not dealt with Greenfield, but I can vouch for the Amish dogs I got. Hammertown has some GSP pups listed here now. GSPs are great dogs, but need to run and hunt like they are born and bred to do!!

Have had a GSP/Chocolate Lab mix for about 6 years. Found him as a 6 week old rescue pup in a shelter. Have owned dogs all my life, mostly lab & lab mixs. This dog is the best I have ever had. He is super smart, very loyal, sweet, eager to please and fun loving. At only 65 pounds he seems like a small dog compared to my 90-110 pound labs. Had some chewing issues when a pup but no issues since. Awesome dog !!!

GSP\'s are great dogs, but require a lot of exercise and mental stimulation or can develop unwanted behaviors. Ranked in the top 20 of intelligent dogs, with persistence in training they can be well trained family dogs or wonderful hunting companions.

GSPs are awesome! I have had 3 in my lifetime so far! They are loveable & like to snuggle! They are great with kids! They don\'t have many health issues & they tend to live long lives. All of mine have lived passed 14 yrs. They r extremely active so they need a family that will take them for a lot if walks, hikes or just a lot of fetching!

German shorthaired pointers are my absolute favorite breed. We have a 2 year old GSP and he is such an angel! So loyal, loving and friendly. He will snuggle with anyone that comes and sits on the couch. Great family dog and loves the outdoors. Would recommend to anyone who wants a loyal companion who will be able to provide a moderate amount of exercise/has a big yard for running.
