The German Shorthaired PointerSporting Group
![]() ![]() Sonny and a Pup from DDS Kennels
The German Shorthaired Pointer, while primarily used in hunting, can be a good family dog. Plays well with children (may be too "peppy" for younger kids). OK with other dogs but may try to catch your cats. Low maintenance grooming but needs lots of exercise. Older dogs can be suited for a quieter life style, but younger dogs are better suited for a country environment where a fenced yard is available.

Book Suggestions
We STRONGLY recommend that you get your dog from a respectable breeder or rescue organization. Pet store puppies may get their dogs from Puppy Mills that normally breed only for profit, not quality or concern for the puppy or its eventual owner.
If you would like help locating a breeder or rescue agency near you please E-Mail PGAA ( ita408@comcast.net), and let us know your city/state and the type of dog you are looking for. Do not assume that PGAA has qualified all of the breeders or rescues on this site. Do your own check of each breeder or rescue -- be sure that you are comfortable with the organization before you buy, adopt or turn-over a dog. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||
