Shorthairs are the best! Because they always have such a positive and devoted mind! I LOOOVE them!!

[@bonniewalter8609]

Beautiful GSPs! Mom's little tail never stopped wagging! So precious!

[@marcusoakes9502]

My GSP is the one thing I didn’t know I was missing in my life! Wonderful loving animals... better yet family care takers!

[@keligsp8962]

Fieldfine Kennel-I thank them for my GSP. They were kind and trust worthy. Love them all!

[@CarmsPinto]

I love my GSP , she has 15 years old and keeps being so energetic

[@Stringman1950]

[@Jmurch17]

I have 1 gsp named Louis and a wirehaired pointer named mallard 🦆 they are the most beautiful majestic 🐕 I’ve ever had the pleasure to own.love them to bits

[@danielsalm6410]

I love my GSP Ruger. He is my adorable nightmare at times. But he is my best friend all other times.

[@ZsaZsaUmbra]

I can smell the puppy breath from here 😍

[@davidl.williams7366]

Yes, I remember that peppery smell too.

[@jankomirovic2866]

This breed doesnt have that much of a smell. They are mostly odorless.

[@GingerKenney]

Great video, and what a lovely bunch of babies!

[@troypower4733]

Right now I have a German Wireharied Pointer, my first two dogs were Shorthairs...Fantastic breed, both GSP's and GWP's. I'm up every morning at 530am and go biking with my GWP, that keeps him in top shape...Great video and good advice, exercise and training make these pointers one of the best well rounded breeds. As for all the tail docking comments, suggest you read up on the breed, there is a reason for it and the breed should remain true to its original intent, no harm to the dog and should be allowed all over the world. Hopefully the USA continues to allow docking, those that represent the breed through responsible management and ownership should be making those decisions, not observers that interpret with no understanding.

Gorgeous dogs

[@rockscorner5991]

Not 'destroying' the house! It's called 'redecorating' German short hair style. Lol

German Shorthaired LOVE

[@mrduckett4006]

I have a love for gsp's and boerboels.

[@pointerdogmanfred3520]

Make sure you have a tall fence. They can clear 4 plus and can dig out if you don't have concrete. I think they are better in twos because they can get lonely and bored when confined.

[@stephenbrault4192]

I have one of Cathy's puppy's, I highly recommend her as a breeder.

[@garthdownton8645]

A neighbour had one, she use to sneak away and come over to visit. What a great dog!!! I would love to have one but my setting just doesn't provide the life style for such an active dog.

[@anthonysolorzano2005]

That's awesome. I was really just worried about having a lots of hair on the couch and other things

[@gsprescuenewmexico421]

Nice video Cathy! Thanks for sharing info on the best breed ever! ~ Clare

[@wizard1382]

I also had this dog before a month 16th June 2018 he was died but all his breed have same habitats. He is part of my life always I miss him German short hair pointer (BROWNY) he died after 12 years 5 months he is g8 dog miss u but after these videos I over come and soon adopt a dog same breed.

[@LiWhybrow]

Great movie. I have a 6 year old GSP. This makes me want to get a youngster to add to the clan! GSP breed is a great dog to have so long as you don't intend to leave it alone. Do you feed prepared dog food or raw meat? I'd like to feed mine more unprocessed foods and was thinking about more raw meat. Do you know if there are any considerations about switching to a raw diet for a dog of 6?

[@uptonsavoie]

I got my first GSP in 1972 and have had a long series of them. All of my children were raised with GSPs, and we can't say enough good things about them. Besides the talents you named, less known are their police and Army work, guide dog for the blind work, guard and attack work, hound (rabbit, coon, et alii) work, hospital visitations, and more that I can't think of at the moment. Although one veterinarian wrote that they are difficult to train, I have found the reverse to be true. My first dog received a third place ribbon in obedience first time she tried, and after that never got anything less than a first place, sometimes garnering first in show (the credit I give to her, not myself), and was mentioned in Dog World Magazine. They are devoted to their family and love children, although they can be reserved with strangers. Just be sure that they get plenty of exercise. Oh yes--mine were great with horses and loved to run along as my wife and I went trail riding.

[@rauniturner9675]

i have a German short-haired pointer named Gunther.

[@natebaron3124]

So I actually have a serious question, how prone is the GSP to bolting if you let them off the leash on a hike?

[@davidropon679]

For a long time I wanted to GSP I’m a major dog lover I’ve been biding my time I want to take my GSP pheasant hunting

[@EngelinZivilBO]

our shorthair is a fucking royal :D and he work like a royal but I love him :D

[@craigpetrobas3030]

Same!

[@dangeles95]

I’m a real distance runner. Not a hobby jogger. I run up to 80-85 miles a week. Can these dogs run up to 12 miles at a time at a steady pace of 8.5mph? And how many weekly miles could they build up to?

[@seand1422]

You can't outrun a GSP. My GSP mountain bikes with me, 15 to 20 mile rides. Just keep water available for them.

[@benjaminfranklin4149]

LOL you will always be the inferior athlete and runner against a GSP (most working/hunting breeds)

[@unclesam8451]

sean d yep, and pay attention to their feet. Pads especially

[@petertyrrell896]

Hell's yes. I need a bike for mine. Her fast walk is about 8.5. Great dog for the endurance athlete.

[@johncritch6812]

You will have difficulty keeping up to them in your car.

[@anthonysolorzano2005]

How bad is the shedding for this breed?

[@gregy7727]

Anthony Solorzano I have a GSP 3 years old, shedding is not bad at all, doesn't require much grooming.

[@uptonsavoie]

Greg, my Shorthairs did shed, even though I gave them a brushing once a week. The hairs are so small that they are hard to remove, and I had to throw out a sweater that was covered with them. And one other thing: Their nails are hard as iron and are black so you can't see the quick when you cut them. Every trimming was a somewhat bloody affair. But otherwise they are wonderful dogs.

[@bigbad9583]

Will these dogs do good on a homestead with chickens?

[@Aronnax777]

No, they will kill them.

[@bigbad9583]

@@Aronnax777 the chickens or the dogs?

[@gracyandmackenzie1025]

Mine is coming next week and I will name it "berdush"

[@titodz2255]

[@ozgursenturk11-11]

Can I put my GSP on a vegetarian diet? 🤔

[@Cashthebulldog]

Ozgur Senturk you should not own a dog. Ever.

[@Ujuani68]

There is ONE caveat, though.. I do not like the cutting of the tail. That the tail gets "destroyed", when the dog is out hunting, is a big, fat myth. The ENGLISH pointer always had ITS tail intact, and it does the EXACT same kind of field work, that the GSP does. So no excuses. Just my 5 cents...

[@Kittyluvsu33]

I'm getting a puppy short hair I'm going to train it to high five me ^_^
