- Appearance:
The German Shorthaired Pointer combines in field-dog requirements those qualities which have long popularized the various breeds of hunting dogs. It is rare to find wrapped up in one package a staunchly pointing bird dog, a keen-nosed night trailer, a proven duck dog, a natural retrieer on land and water, pleasing conformation and markings, great powers of endurance, and an intelligent family watchdog and companion, but German Shorthaired Pointers can be all that. They are an aristocratic, well-balanced, symmetrical animal with confirmation indicating power, endurance, and agility and a look of intelligence and animation.
