Later the English Pointer was crossed in to add speed and endurance. The German hunters were after an all-purpose utility dog that not only had a good nose, but could point, track, was an excellent retriever, gun-dog, in both field and water for both feather and fur.

Shorthairs can be highstrung and high energy dogs.

These hunting dogs also need a nutritional and balanced diet. Check with a veterinarian for details. You must be ready to commit to the dog if you get a shorthair.

The German Short-haired Pointer is in the Gundog group (Sporting in America) and is a medium sized, short coated breed. The origin of the German Shorthaired Pointer is not clear, but the source of the breed seems to have been the German Bird Dog, related to the old Spanish Pointer, and various crossings with local German scent hounds and track and trail dogs.
