About German Shorthaired Pointer
|
Country of Origin, History of German Shorthaired Pointers
German hunters of the 1800s
wanted a dog with a good nose that would point
within a reasonable distance for a man hunting
on foot. They wanted a dog that could retrieve
both fur and feather on land and in water.
They also wanted a tracker. To get such an
all-purpose hunting dog they bred Old Spanish
Pointers, Hounds of St. Hubert, Foxhounds,
and other hounds. After adding the English
Pointer into the breeding, they got a faster,
more energetic dog.
