The GSP dog was bred and is considered to be a mixture of many breeds such as Italian Pointer, mixed Scandinavian breeds, variety of French hounds, German Bird Dog, the Foxhound, and some German breeds like Schweisshund (a tracking breed).

It is believe that there were quite a few dogs that went into creating this unique breed some of which include some German breeds such as the schweisshund, a German hound known for tracking, the Foxhound, different French hounds, assorted Scandinavian breeds, the German Bird Dog, and the Italian Pointer.

They have very strong and muscular hind legs by which they are able to run, move and turn very quickly as and when required. Besides that they can fetch heavier games than other hunting dogs as their muzzle is broad and strong.

This GSP dog coat is also water resistant due to his undercoat that is protected by guard hairs that are stiff. This also allows him to stay warm in even the coldest of weather. His color can vary, but is usually a dark brown, known as liver, black or both liver and black with some white mixed in.

This is a breed that for those who don’t hunt can excel at agility, rally, Dock Dog competition, tracking, obedience and anywhere the ability to work with their owner towards a common goal is prized. This gives an outlet for that high energy drive the dog possesses. They want to be with people, working with people and learning.

The GSP dog require proper training and lots of exercise or else they tend to be over active, unruly and willful too. If in case they do not get their desired exercise level, they are bound to try to get it on their own and can create destruction and havoc in doing so. Being a large and active breed, their diet is also large. However, if not active enough, they can become fat. The best indicator of their good health is that one ought to be able to feel the ribs (last two) beneath the coat plus a well defined waist.

If you are planning on owning the GSP dog, be prepared to encourage him or her with plenty of daily activities and you will be rewarded with a loyal and trustworthy companion.
