The German Shorthair dogs is very energetic, smart and willing to please. Cheerful and friendly, he likes children. Loyal and protective, he loves all family members equally, especially if they are carrying the leash, car key, gun or Frisbee. They are very people-oriented, and not happy if isolated from the family.

The breed has grown enormously in popularity and is now one of the most popular pedigree breeds in the UK as a pet, it is still the favourite working breed for many forces especially the police and they are widely used for security purposes.

This breed is known for its ability to move quickly and with great strength. This is due to his very strong back legs that give him the ability to move rapidly and turn quickly if needed.

However, the muzzle is long, but never pointed. The length of the muzzle should be the same as the length of the skull. Unlike the English Pointer, the occipital bone is not very conspicuous nor is there a pronounced stop. The almond-shaped eyes and nose are brown.

The German Shorthair dogs is a highly intelligent beast who will show undying devotion to his master but he is a dog that needs company and stimulation to be at his best. This dogs also naturally protective and territorial which is something to bear in mind if you have lots of visitors to your house when careful introduction may be required to assure your pet that the visitor is not a threat to his family.

They are very people-oriented, and not happy if isolated from the family. If exercised sufficiently once or twice a day, the German Shorthair dogs makes a very agreeable family companion. If left to his own devices for long periods without exercise and or leadership, he can become destructive and nervous.

Remember too that an older German Shorthair dogs will be a very rewarding addition to the family and will be housetrained, won’t chew, well behaved, probably require less exercise than a young dog and will be very loyal and grateful.

This is not a breed for everyone but for those in an active home he can be an awesome dog.
