6 Reasons To Love German Shorthaired Pointers

Awesome book that gives you step-by-step photos kzbin.infoUgkxTNB_zFBSnTo_O1PqfVUwgi7ityw0JlKt and directions to make every day project. I can see myself making a few of these projects and giving them as housewarming and holiday gifts!

[@lindaturner6033]

I rescued a GSP that I found lost and starving. He was probably mixed with black lab but looked like a GSP, was solid black with faint white ticking across his anterior shoulders and back legs. I named him Hank. Vet said he was about three years old when I found him and he was with me for the best 12 years of my life. He was my soul mate. He made it to 15 years of age when I had to send him on his way to the happy hunting grounds. He just got so old.....I loved every minute of my life with him even taking care of him as an old man. He was so loving and loved to hike when he was young. I miss him soooooo much. Mommy loves you Hank. See you some day on the other side. I know you are waiting for mommy at Rainbow Bridge. Love you son..........

We just rescued (she rescued us) a 6 month old Pointer, what an amazing dog. So amazingly smart.

[@StandingStoneKennels]

That’s so wonderful! Glad you were able to help her and she can help you!

We did too , she’s 10 now and a beautiful dog.

[@klikzy7678]

I just bought a baby shorthair

[@Fiddlefarmer86]

I have two GSP’s right now and I can hands down say they’re the best, most affectionate dogs I’ve ever had. They just enjoy being around people, working, playing, or just relaxing. If you can provide them with enough exercise, I cannot think of a better family dog/hunting companion!

[@StandingStoneKennels]

We 100% agree! If they get the exercise they need they are the best family dogs and hunting companions!

[@Mike-In-O-Town]

Nice to see the seniors in this video still enjoying their lives. I have a 13 year old Treeing Walker who's not only my shadow, but he's someone who all but knows what I'm thinking without a word being spoken. All these working breeds are very special.

[@StandingStoneKennels]

For sure! Grandpa Rex is 14 and such a wonderful part of our family!

[@davidl.532]

I have had 5 GSP's in my present and past and agree 100% with your reasons to love them, they are awesome family dogs and hunting machines. Really enjoy your channel.

[@StandingStoneKennels]

Thank you!!

[@Linejudgemick]

Fritz had us as a family for almost 14 years before he got a tumor in his back and he went to run with all his ancestors. That was almost 2 years ago and we're "almost" ready to be adopted again. GSPs are great family dogs, tireless, intelligent, sometimes stubborn, but overall great family members!

*I love this show and this book does not disappoint. **Trainr.pet** Some wonderful insights especially about learning all you can about your dog's breed. He spends a lot of time talking about that and how their breed really shapes behavior. With that and some research I understand my dog better and training went much easier.*

Always love to hear the passion in yall's voice! Thanks for sharing why you guys choose this breed and why you love it so much!

[@bobbarham6119]

My dad had one that he trained to hunt. It was the first dog I remember, I was maybe 3-4 years old, and I loved him to death, so kind and gentle. My dad loved to pheasant hunt with him. He would do anything to please my dad. Thank you for posting. His name was Hans von Duke II. We called him Duke.

[@sandywalker6628]

I love my GSP, he just turned a year. Our Gunner is a very busy young man who loves life. He is my 4th GSP and he is the best. This breed is definitely not for everyone. Smart, obedient, full of energy, but can be a stinker! Nice to see a video on my favorite breed!

Keep up the great work!

Thier intelligence is amazing. I miss my Sasha. She was obedient, loving, protective and just enjoyed anything you threw her way. She was 14 and passed in my arms looking into my eyes while I told her it was ok and we will met on the other side. I loved her dearly and she loved me . I never once hit her and she knew I would never. She was strong headed, but when I put my forehead to hers and told her good or bad ,she understood . She knew voice, whistle and hand clapping commands. Just loved to be in the fields. Aboutslutly one of the best all around dogs. They are part of the family and have the softest ears when you pet them. Love you Sasha. God please take care her, I love her more than myself.

Anna-Maria Smith they are a lot of work as puppies, mine was anyways. Puppy biting was a huge issue but they do settle down after a few months. They truly are great dogs!

[@ecalzo]

my super loved kind of dog.. i love them all.. but pointer are the best absolutely ..

[@here_we_go_again2571]

Your videos have brought me much joy! I miss my old (d. @17 years) GSP, if I was 20 years younger I would get another one. He was a loyal, loving and intelligent companion and wonderful with the children and grandchildren. He was a "velcro dog" unless he noticed an open door to the outside; then he would "escape" Yet, he never ran away from the house -- Just circled the propety until he was inticed by cookies!

[@pramodhb6796]

Whatever it is.. I am just impressed the way the dog looks.. It's coat,colour, stance and demeanour. It's a piece of canine artistry.

[@StandingStoneKennels]

Thanks for watching!

[@karenbernier808]

I have had GSPs for forty five years and will always have at least one . I just got a 8 week old male puppy. We have always done obedience training and got titles on most all of our GSPs . We don’t hunt but we hike and plan on dock diving with him next season along with barn hunting. The only other problem that this breed can get is OCD .

[@robertoposa1120]

I love my Kurzhaar - one of the best breeds

Everything both of you said is 100% correct! Great summary of this fantastic breed!

[@scottl495]

I was concerned with a GSP handling the cold, I am in Georgia where we dont have harsh weather but i do travel to hunt throughout the season our puppy will be ready in July.

[@Lerequindemort]

I own a 10 year old GSP bitch. We lost a big handsome GSP boy a couple of years ago in tragic circumstances. We have a new GSP boy pup who just turned 14 weeks. They are just the BEST dogs. Not used for hunting by me but lots of biking and running...the bitch is a therapy dog and does work in schools. Beautiful dogs. Beautiful nature. Can't see me ever not having a GSP around...like no other breed. Love them. Thanks for your vid. Lots of little nuances to recognize 🤣

[@indy5542]

They are wonderful dogs. My girl would run 10 miles for cross country training and be ready to go as soon as she got home. Once she swam 500 yards across a river following a goose. I miss her terribly. This video is heart warming

[@Felipevida]

We rescued our GSP and now he’s our Angel! He is so cute and inocente dog and I would like to see him more defense with a bullies dogs!!

[@here_we_go_again2571]

I owned a Boxer and a GSP both were awesome! However, I never had to worry about the GSP attacking the postman or anyone else. The GSP would just lay on his chase lounge on the front porch and gently take the doggie biscuit that the postman offered. The Boxer would have to be crated in the house when we saw/heard the mail truck (the Boxer had a grudge towards that guy!)

I own a 13 year old gsp. Had her in apt all her life, still. Her young years she could be very distructive if i dared not to run her in the mountains trails or the park.i do agree with all in the video. Cant see her as an outdoor kennel hunting dog. She is always putting her head in my lap. She gets along super with my daxie and cat and the new ddr gsd puppy. Loves kids as well

It’s a pity that I don’t speak English, but the video is very pleasant!

[@noneyun9943]

Our GSP picked up dockdogs in 2 weeks, and sled pulling the same day! I’ve had english pointers and tons of other breeds, but GSP is the best! Super smart, and will do anything you want them to do! Our daughter loves her GSP way more than her whippet, and that’s because the GSP tolerates kids every second of the day

[@StandingStoneKennels]

They are so smart! Sounds like you have a very special dog!

[@markjones3531]

I agree with all that you have said about the breed! But you must have people try a German Wirehair Pointer (GWP). Very good hunters, exremely good pets, a little quirky and insecure at times but not just a hairy version of a GSP. We have both and feel the GWP is the undiscovered addition to your hunting/family life. Can't minimise the extreme need for exercise daily but just as watching your dogs Hunting gives me an endorfin release! Can be prey driven but if introduced to cats early things are fine. Remember a tired pointer is a great dog , so loving. V

[@fogtown3027]

Yeah they sure know how to escape... good dove hunting dog.

[@Treehandler]

The only hurdle to get over with GSPs is the amount of exercise needed. After that, I can't imagine a more well rounded dog.

[@StandingStoneKennels]

They definitely are a higher energy breed that needs to have a job and work!

[@Cowgirlevie]

I find that it's typically they need more mental stimulation than physical!

[@StandingStoneKennels]

They definitely need a combination of both!

[@steelheadranger]

@@StandingStoneKennels Yes, they need both. We had two English Springer Spaniels, different dog, but still have the same dominant hunting dog traits. They needed a lot of daily hard exercise. The stamina of the Springer was impressive. But they are also bright dogs that need a job to occupy them mentally. If you do not give them a job, they'll invent one themselves and it was always something you did not want. They are demanding dogs but the rewards, if you can treat them well, are worth it. GSPs are very much the same in those areas though pointing dogs are different than flushing dogs.

Hahaha that’s trouble!!

[@here_we_go_again2571]

Ha! :)

[@rbarbasi96]

I love my GSP mix! He is almost 3 now and I adopted him when he was 4 months old. I've had issues with him since the beginning because he cannot control himself around people - he gets too excited and starts jumping and barking... He is very sweet with everyone in the family, but any other person is just impossible to greet without a huge fuss. It has made it almost impossible to let him off-leash in the dog parks but I live in a city and can only take him to the countryside on the weekends. With all his energy I feel very bad for him but I don't know how to help him. I've been to 4 trainers, but none of them have helped me with this. If anyone has any piece of advice on how to calm him down, please let me know. We both will be very thankful!!

[@secondthought2320]

GSPs are truly some of the most intelligent dogs you can own. It's true that they can run all day then spend time on the couch. Very protective too. They will take care of you.

[@valeriag4053]

I LOVEE THIS. My family and I have own a lot of gsp, weimaraner and beagles. We live on a farm, and when I moved to the city a while ago, my neightbour had a gsp and it broke my heart to see her dog in the appartment. She took the dog on walks but those type of walks are not enought for this breed. People now get gsp because they are beautiful dogs, but they have a llt of needs, physically and mentally. And because I’ve seen how happy they are with a big area to explore and run at home, everytime i see one in an apartment... i feel like they are slowly killing the gsp spirit and personality. They are the most gentle and loving dogs i’ve ever had. All they wanna do is to have a job and be around their family.

[@gauravkrishna8128]

couldn't agree more with this video, owned em over 40 years now..... ounce you get past the high energy youll love em…. I personally love the energy my dogs are with me every minute they can be.... and that energy carries over into the field...

[@WorldsBestFisherman152]

I know you guys are GSP fans but my GSP needs a little sister so do you think labs or golden retrievers are better mainly because I want a duck dog because my GSP is really sensitive to cold water and a upland dog at the same time so my GSP has hunting partner

[@WorldsBestFisherman152]

Or maybe another GSP

[@StandingStoneKennels]

It really depends on what your primary focus for your dog will be. If you want mostly a waterfowl dog a lab might be a good option, but if you want one that will both waterfowl and the upland hunt with your other GSP another GSP that is bred for versatility might be a good option.

I have a question for you guys. How are German short hairs in a house hold with a cat? My wife and I are planning on getting a German short hair and have a two year old Chartreux who’s been around a few different breeds and doesn’t mind the company; however, not much online about their compatibility with cats. Any info would be appreciated.

[@sherryuroff2423]

We have raised shorthairs with our cats. Start young.They can learn that their family is not prey.

[@StandingStoneKennels]

If you raise a young GSP around your cats and teach them the proper way to interact you should be fine. However, talk to your breeder about the level of prey drive in regards to fur the parents of your puppy is likely to have.
