Our German Shorthaired Pointers are bred to be very versatile. They excel in the field, in the home, and in service. Our gsp's come from strong hunting lines. While they are bred to have high energy in the field, in the home they love affection and praise. They are great family dogs as they are very tolerant of kids and other animals. Because they have high intelligence and are easily trained, they also make great service companions for the police, search and rescue, and those with medical conditions that benefit from a service animal.

German Shorthaired Pointers are slow to mature, compared to most dog breeds. They are not considered to be a cognitively adult dog until they reach two years of age. Potential owners should be aware of this and prepare for at least a year of having a full-grown dog with the mind of a teenage pup.
