German Shorthaired Pointer

The versatile German Shorthaired Pointer sporting dog breed hunts many types of game, retrieves on land or from water, and is an affectionate companion. They have a striking, easy-care coat, but they need plenty of vigorous exercise.

If you can provide this dog with the mental and physical challenges they crave, they’ll be your best four-legged friend. But those who live in apartments or spend lots of time away from home must beware. Without room to play and lots of exercise, you may find a bored dog engaging in destructive behaviors when you get home.
