The Modern German Shorthaired Pointer Handbook
Behaviour, training and everyday life, from choosing a puppy to the senior years
Most breed books tell you a German Shorthaired Pointer is a tireless gundog. Then you bring one home and meet the real thing.
I've been training dogs for over 30 years, and I wrote this the way I'd talk to you if we were stood in a field together.

Where the GSP came from, and what a versatile hunting dog brings home
Is a GSP right for you? Energy, the off switch, coat and time
Health, joints, bloat, and what to ask the breeder

Recall, livestock, visitors and pulling: GSP training challenges
The nose, pointing and chasing, enrichment and family life

Who it's for
Anyone thinking about a German Shorthaired Pointer, bringing a puppy home, living with a teenager who's forgotten their own name, or sharing life with an older dog.
