German Shorthaired Pointer – Hurstville Grove

Microchipped, not desexed. Great with kids + other dogs, healthy, knows sit/come/stay/down/wait + “this way” off-lead. High energy working breed. Can pull on lead (we use a Halti). Still a puppy — has dug/chewed when bored, so needs an active home with structure + ongoing training.

All four males are a striking solid black, and the fifth is solid liver; one female is a beautiful solid liver, and the second female is a gorgeous liver and white. Very well-socialised and happy babies. The dam is solid liver with pedigree papers. She is our beloved family pet with a beautiful, affectionate nature. The sire has amazing black and white markings, excellent hunting skills and has a beautiful, friendly personality. The Pointers are really outstanding, and very intelligent dogs. Very active, so they require a home with a similar lifestyle. They make an excellent family pet and are fantastic with children. GSPs are known bird/hunting dogs with very keen instincts, so they make incredible outdoor companions.

German Shorthaired Pointer – Allenby Gardens

Meet Bandit! A playful, charming 8-month-old pup. He’s an energetic boy who loves going for a stroll and getting pats and treats. He is potty trained, a quick learner, and knows basic commands such as sit, stay, and come. Bandit thrives on attention and loves being part of the action. He’s great with kids, friendly with other dogs, and would suit an active home with space to run and play. A secure yard is a must. Our family is looking for a safe and loving new home for him, as sadly, our new rental doesn’t allow pets. We want the best for Bandit and hope he finds a home where he’ll be cherished.

Grooming

German Shorthaired Pointers are relatively low-maintenance dogs.

Regular brushing sessions will help to curtail shedding and keep their short coats smooth and lustrous.

History of German Shorthaired Pointers

The German Shorthaired Pointer descends from the German Bird Dog. German breeders aspired to create a dog that could excel in various tasks – and in many ways, they succeeded.

German royalty can be credited with championing the breed, as Prince Albrecht zu Solms-Braunfels of the Royal House of Hanover was an avid admirer of the German Shorthaired Pointer.

World War II disrupted the breeding of the German Shorthaired Pointer in Germany, but the breed continued to flourish in the U.S.

The German Shorthaired Pointer has slowly but steadily reclaimed its status as one of the premier working breeds, and is now favored by active, high-energy owners who relish spending ample time with their dogs.

What Are the Characteristics of a German Shorthaired Pointer?

Are German Shorthaired Pointers Family-Friendly?

Absolutely, German Shorthaired Pointers are gentle and affectionate with humans. They particularly enjoy being around and playing with children. They thrive in households with older children.

Common Health Issues & Considerations

German Shorthaired Pointers may suffer from:

Hip and elbow dysplasia

Von Willebrand’s Disease

This is a genetic bleeding disorder caused by a deficiency of von Willebrand factor, leading to prolonged bleeding and difficulty with blood clotting.

Gastric dilatation-volvulus

A life-threatening condition where the stomach fills with gas and twists in on itself

Nature / Temperament

Energetic, Sociable, Friendly, Protective, Playful

Are German Shorthaired Pointers Good Inside Dogs?

The German Shorthaired Pointer is not as large as some other working breeds, but craves a significant amount of free space to roam. They flourish when they have ample space to exercise.

German Shorthaired Pointers also tend to bark loudly, which may render them unsuitable for apartment living with close neighbors.

What Are the Unique Facts About German Shorthaired Pointers?

  • German Shorthaired Pointers adore water and are excellent swimmers due to their webbed feet.
  • A German Shorthaired Pointer puppy should receive sufficient physical and mental stimulation, or they may transform into skilled escape artists.
  • Some German Shorthaired Pointers will retain a puppy-like demeanor well into their second year of life.

 

How can I take good care of my German Shorthaired Pointer?

Nutrition

German Shorthaired Pointer puppies should always be fed high-quality dog food. These highly active dogs need copious amounts of food to sustain their energy levels.

Clean water should be available at all times.

Most German Shorthaired Pointer puppies will devour as much as you allow them. It is wise to measure out their meals two to three times a day, removing any leftover food.

You may consult your vet about your dog’s diet and nutrition, if necessary.

Grooming

Grooming a German Shorthaired Pointer is swift, as their short coat only requires brushing with a hound glove or soft-bristled brush two to three times a week.

Exercise

German Shorthaired Pointers are exceedingly high-energy dogs and generally require moderate to high-intensity play and training.

Around an hour to an hour and a half of exercise each day is ideal for most German Shorthaired Pointers.

German Shorthaired Pointer puppies can begin exercising outdoors as soon as they receive clearance from their veterinarian.

Training

One of the primary goals when developing the German Shorthaired Pointer was to create a highly trainable dog. Most German Shorthaired Pointers are eager to learn and take to training immediately.

Like all other dog breeds, training is one of the most vital ways for a German Shorthaired Pointer to receive mental and physical stimulation.

Basic obedience training should be the first step, and most German Shorthaired Pointer puppies can begin almost as soon as they are brought home from a breeder.

It is also possible to enroll your German Shorthaired Pointer puppies in training classes to strengthen your bond. Just ensure that the training methods used are based on positive reinforcement.

This is general information and should not be relied on for adopting or purchasing advice.

Most Asked German Shorthaired Pointer Questions

No, German Shorthaired Pointers and German Shorthaired Pointer puppies do not tend to be aggressive towards humans or other dogs.

They may be wary of new dogs and humans at first, but will generally shy away from confrontation.

German Shorthaired Pointers have a very high prey drive, and will not tend to get along with other smaller animals.

A German Shorthaired Pointer puppy may be able to learn to live alongside an existing household cat, but it is rare for them to be friends.

If you are looking for German Shorthaired Pointer puppies for sale, we recommend that you adopt from ethical, responsible breeders. This helps ensure that the German

Shorthaired Pointer puppies you get will be well-bred and healthy. The average cost of a German Pointer for sale will be between AUD $1500 and $3000.
