A hunter's pride and joy, German Shorthaired Pointers are hard to resist.
With their speckled coats, floppy ears, and desire to please their people, these hunting dogs are easy to love. They've been bred to retrieve small game from both land and water, and they're often trained as working K9s to detect everything from illegally poached ivory to drugs and explosives. There's no doubting their athletic prowess or intellectual abilities, but most families choose German Shorthaired Pointers because of their affectionate personalities and loyalty.
Whether they live for the hunt or would rather go on long hikes before cuddling on the couch, these dogs make excellent family companions. They let their enthusiasm shine through with everything they do, and they want nothing more than a family to call their own. People also love them for their easy-to-care-for coats and striking good looks.
