German Longhaired Pointer

The German Longhaired Pointer is a multipurpose hunting dog breed that Germans started selectively breeding for their versatility and athleticism. Today, the German Longhaired Pointer, or GLP, is a gentle, loyal breed.

Some fans of the breed refer to them simply as GLP. In their native country, they’re called Deutsch-Langhaar, or the German Longhair. Although these are purebred dogs, you may still find them in shelters and rescues. Remember to adopt! Don’t shop if this is the breed for you.
