The German Shorthaired Pointers we know today are the result of more than a century of controlled breeding. The studbook published in 1897 was the founding document in the history of the breed.
German Shorthaired Pointers are bred to strict rules and undergo complex hunting trials. They must be able to complete a very wide range of hunting tasks to an advanced age. Firm, balanced, dependable and restrained, they must never be nervous, timid or aggressive.

Historically, German Shorthaired Pointers were used in Mediterranean regions to assist in the hunting of game birds. The breed was introduced to the courts of Germany via France, Spain and Flanders, where their most important quality was pointing.These harmoniously proportioned dogs exude power, stamina and speed. A proud carriage, smooth lines, lean head, well carried tail, dense, glossy coat and free, far-reaching strides emphasize the breed’s noble character.
