As told by its name alone, anybody can come to the conclusion that this breed comes from Germany, and has short hair. The coat is reasonably feisty and thick, which doesn’t require much grooming. This dog is of medium build, weighing anywhere from 45 to 70 pounds and standing from 21 to 25 inches from its foot to its shoulder. It’s built athletically, slender but muscled, allowing it to tread swiftly but with power. Germans crossbred this dog to grant it more intelligence and stamina in order to make an ideal hunting dog, which was its original purpose. A great sense of smell and hearing makes tracking for this pooch easy.

The German Shorthair Pointer can stand anywhere between twenty-one and twenty-five inches tall, categorizing him as a medium breed. Adults typically weigh anywhere from forty-five to seventy pounds and the female Pointer is usually a little bit shorter and slightly lighter than the male.

The German Shorthair Pointer is a human family oriented and hunter dog. They need quite a bit of exercise and are just as willing to hunt as they are to play games in the yard. They can tend to roam and they are known as escape artists so a properly fenced in yard for exercise is ideal.

As the German Shorthair Pointer is a large, active breed, the dogs can require quite a bit of food; however, they can also become obese if fed too much for individual activity levels. A healthy weight is that the last two ribs should be able to be felt under the coat and the dog should have a distinct and defined waist. Recommended feeding for the German Shorthair Pointer is one and a half to two and a half cans of high-quality meaty product with biscuit added in equal parts or five cupfuls of a complete, dry dog food.

However, if you are an owner, but not a hunter, it would be important to find these alternative outlets such as obedience trialing, competition, and agility training could be considered.
