Crazy hunting dog gets his first groom | German Shorthaired Pointer

[@joeyj6808]

My 1st doggo was part pointer. He barked three times in his twelve years, each time to warn us of danger. Duke was truly the best of buddies for a young boy, and I miss him 45 years later.

Adam, we just helped rescue two German Shorthair pointer males in an emergency situation. We live in Northern New England. They are healthy, but really need new homes. The owner was homeless and surrendered his boys for their sake. Because of the owner's situation we don't have enough info to give to a German Shorthair Pointer rescue group and we're a bit at an impasse. Any ideas?

[@cUser691]

@Adam Garrett Kudos to you for having energy to engage a GSP. You must be quite the triathlete lol. Also cool to see loyalty for her business with Rocky, Famous , & Kennedi being groomed + pampered in the past. Once you find a groomer who takes craftmanship to another level you stay w/ them! Reggie is a good boy. Well wishes from Chicago 🐕

[@sharonsolana]

Is your dog a good swimmer? I know a GSP who has a lot of trouble swimming.

[@geobooo]

I had a GSP i did 12 miles on foot it did 142 they are great dogs but nuts.

[@Ragefor3Dayz]

My neighbor had one of these dogs, name was just "Boss". He'd run from yard to yard and check on everyone (cul-de-sac) just to see if he could help. He'd try to help with anything... fishing, gardening, backyard football. He was everyone's friend. No one cared that he basically roamed free. Cool dog.

[@highandtight5544]

I feel like dogs like that straight up just are 1000% soul and drive. They don't love, they idolize. I bet he dreamt of all you guys when he slept. That could be a damn movie. I had a cat like that everyone called bandit, if you left a window open on our block he would just come and chill in your place. He had a schedule, literally. We would always wonder around six, when he knew we would all be getting home from work, and hang out in the living room. Every single day for two years.

Suspect the owners - being very good with dogs - were giving him a new experience for his education. * I used to take my rhotti to just sit in the waiting room at vets, ( with their permission) to get used to sitting there quietly. This turned out to be very useful later when she was ill and stressed.

[@cUser691]

@@wombat.6652 Exclt idea to do that. For a pup , had touched paws + toenails, taken near the airport in car [loud noises], brushed & massaged, and turned on low volume dryer nearby [sound & effect]. Never thought of vet visit [w/ permission]. Thx for idea.

It's literally impossible to tire this breed out. They just go and go and then go some more. You will be exhausted and need your bed and these guys will just be getting started. Great hunters and trail dogs.

[@LaggedTillDeath]

@@mnomadvfx They are actually quite a healthy and long-lived breed. Our old lady passed at 13, only due to intestine cancer, but beside that she was in prime health. I've seen others go on to 15+, they just get mellow around age 10 and get that regal look with gray hair on their faces.

[@dylanfarley8136]

Last year my family took theirs camping with us. We were on a lake so we went swimming and at one point we started throwing a frisbee in the lake for the dog to fetch. After 3 or 4 hours solid of throwing the frisbee for her we went back to the site, this dog was whining to keep playing as she was struggling to not fall asleep on the spot.

@@mnomadvfx not necessarily. They are bred to be very high energy. Other breeds as similar. For example we used to have a Rhodesian Ridgeback which are bred for long distance running. She could run at a medium pace all day long very long distances (or lie around doing nothing!) She was 17 when she passed away. Horses for courses innit.

My first and best dog was Ginger, a German Shorthaired Pointer. On top of being as described here, she was the smartest dog I ever met. She was also an incredible family dog, helping to raise our son from the time he was 3. She was gentle, loyal, and protective - everything you could possibly want in a family dog. She's been gone 25 years, but I still miss her.

[@Simon_Nyne]

My late father used to love Pointers, he had an English Pointer that he adopted as a rescue, he was the most loyal dog you ever saw. He would happily walk alongside my father without a leash, never once running off or getting aggressive at other dogs. He would walk him down to the nearby coastal beach and he would run for ages, happy as can be, and would never get vocal unless he was being playfully wound up. I think he would have adored this video.

My aunt and uncle rescued a GSP years ago. His name was Jet and he was such a great dog! He was so fast, hence his name, and could run for hours on end. He was best friends with their other big dog at the time, a female Dalmation named Ladybug, Bug for short. They watched over the property, Jet would great with licks, Bug with growls until she accepted you, then she switched to licks too ;) They are both buried under a tree by the lake in front of the house so they can still see who is coming up the driveway :)

I used to work at a vets office. Two hunting buddies,one regular German short hair, named Ruger and a German wire short hair named Winchester. They were so fun and loving and great hunting buddies. They were both very well behaved after the bathing started but to get them into the tub was always a challenge. When you brought him through and he started going around and around in circles it was very reminiscent lol.

We have an 8 year old pointer/lab mix and he really is the best dog ever. He's a little lower energy than a typical GSP but still much higher energy than a lab. He points, he loves to chase the ball, and he's very silly. He has the big chest of a GSP but the hind end of a lab, so he walks a little funny. Overall he's very sweet and protective. We would strongly consider getting a GSP or another mix in the future, they're excellent dogs. One thing nobody ever talks about is how much personality GSP and mixes have. Booker is very attached to his toys and won't sleep unless he has his 'lizard', which he's had since he was a puppy and has never destroyed. He also loves to cuddle and thinks he's much smaller than he is when it comes to lap time. He's around 70ish pounds.

What a handsome fella. It's worth noting that sometimes dogs that don't normally need a professional groom can benefit from one. For instance, I had an elderly lab mix that could no longer get into the bathtub. At that point, I started taking him to the groomer for a bath during the winter. During the summer, I hosed him off in the backyard, which he absolutely loved. Same principle goes for older or injured owners: sometimes a pro has the equipment to help bathe a dog when the owner can't.

I grew up with several german shorthairs- each and every one was basically a sausage full of energy! They were definitely ones to get into trouble if you didn't give them enough stimulation and exercise, and they had an absolutely ridiculous amount of energy. Even as they got older, they kept that same energy. I miss the first two we had (Sadie and Emma), but that just means I'll have to give more love to the newest puppy, Tia : )

[@Zailen1]

We had a German Shorthair in the past. We are not hunters, but we got her because she had nowhere else to go. She was a great dog, but I will tell you all now. She was by far the most strong willed dog I have ever had, and I have Bulldogs now. So that's saying something. If there was something she wanted, she was going to find a way to get it. Once, she even found out how to unlatch the smoker so she could steal all the fish inside. They are a very intelligent, and energetic breed. But I always thought that will of hers was part of her charm.

She could go on forever she has such endless energy and is very good with the other kids in our house. She is protective but friendly and she is such a gorgeous dog. She has the body type of a pointer but with more of a labish face, she’s dark brown and has these stunning and bright butterscotch coloured eyes. She is very attached to her mom and follows her everywhere but she loves the rest of us too. Her name is Piper and she is the best girl. ( okay I’m done ranting for now, just wanted to appreciate our special pup ).

I loved my GSP. So much energy. She always made me laugh. Never off duty. At 2 am, she'd be standing under a tree, staring at the birds who went to bed lol. I miss her

I have been following your about 3 months and are addicted. Have a Chinese creested that is now almost 6 years old and just 5 days ago we got a buttterrier Would love too see you groom those. And learning alot too. Thank you for making animals and ppl happy and pretty 😍

[@witch6in6the6womb]

In doggie day care these dogs were always the weirdos 😂 I love them.

[@cbc5863]

Reggie is a wonderful boy! So calm and loving. As always, you do a terrific job.

[@megan5867]

I love that she goes in depth describing each breed. I'm not a dog owner, but if I decide to get one, I want to make sure I get the exact right breed for me and my family, and this helps! I don't want to choose based on which ones I think are the cutest, but the one that will be happiest with my family's personality.

[@parkerbrown-nesbit1747]

Thank you! You're definitely on the right path!

[@sparklefarter]

What a handsome man and a beautiful breed! I am mentally applauding the owners for being such amazing role models. RIP to their 3 munchkins.

[@Xxluvable94xX]

Another reason for the name Pointer comes from their extremely pointy elbows that they are not afraid to use if you are taking too long to wake up in the morning. One of those to the ribs and you are not going back to sleep anytime soon.

[@nanyanghuayi]

😄Early to bed and early to rise makes a man healthy, wealthy and wise; your Pointer knows that 😂

[@ggsmith48906]

Hahaha oh that's awesome, and so true! LOL

[@kimmiller6437]

Lmao. Very funny & sooo true!

[@heyfitzpablum]

My GSP is 15 years old and no longer pulls my arm out of it's socket, but he still has a great personality.

[@lynnie1121]

My childhood dog was a GSP, an absolute lunatic (first of her litter, of course)! Had the biggest personality, needed 3 long off-leash walks a day, and loved us more than anything. I’ll always see GSP’s fondly because of Cali 🥺💕

[@M3thodbombz]

Little late to the party but that’s our GSP. 3 off leash walks a day. And they’re not walks to be honest. He runs through the desert in the morning, fetch for 1 hour at the park, and then his nightly walk at another park. He’ll sleep for 2 hours in between each of those exercise routines. Some days he’ll be mellow, other days he won’t let up.

My brother was 'gifted' with an unwanted Pointer. This was during the Off Hunting season, and brother actually had to give that dog A STEEL BELTED RADIAL TIRE TO DESTROY. And they dog did destroy that tire.

[@breanneahrndt4486]

I also use the Zoom Groom on our shorthair. I find it’s best to do this at least once a week since those little hairs stick to everything! Great video! Thanks for highlighting this wonderful breed!

[@autumnmartin8177]

You are awesome! I never really paid much attention to this breed but for some reason my heart is swelling for him!

[@lanettechibitty2511]

We have two pointers and going to get one more to complete our pack. I LOVE their hyper energetic unpredictable behavior. These dogs make me smile when my days are tough.

[@alenemarie1726]

Finely believe Pointers and gun dogs are actually the best dogs out there

[@TheDJSleek]

I love his eyes and how calm he his.

[@radman3206]

I'm not a dog owner, but your comments regarding this breed needing adequate exercise resonates. Having bought the house of friends and owners of a pointer, the entire irrigation system needed replacing and every accessible timber door and window was chewed into near oblivion. Gave me two years worth of repair.

[@SuperLaplander]

Now that is a dog in my taste. Thank you sweet girl for sharing this!

[@meganmadson8588]

my 10 year old dog, ruby, is a GSP. she’s the sweetest thing ever, a little ball of energy (they do mellow out a little eventually), and is all muscle. that dog is so fast and all she ever wants to do is run. one revision, however-“mild shedding” is putting it lightly

[@namariie3184]

I have a pointer mix as a service dog, and can definitely agree with the energy! Keeping up with her is how I got into running and hiking as frequently as I do. She points, tries to play with anything dog-sized (including groundhogs and feral cats), and tends to adopt anyone who spends more than 5 minutes in her presence. She loves working and if she didn't have a job I think she'd find one! I love her to pieces.

[@venus_e]

finally a pointer ! i have an english pointer and she is the sassiest and energetic girl i've ever known
