German Shorthaired Pointer
The origin of the German Shorthaired
Pointer, as with most breeds, is not clear,
but the source of basic foundation stock
seems to have been the German Bird Dog,
related to the old Spanish Pointer, and
various crossings with local German scent
hounds and track and trail dogs
(Schweisshunde). When the Germans
finally introduced the fine English Pointers
to lend elegance to the German
Shorthaired Pointer prototype, the result
was a magnificent utility dog that combined
sporting virtue with clean lines, good looks,
sound temperament and longevity. The
German Shorthaired Pointer was first
admitted to the AKC Stud Book in 1930,
with the first specialty and field trial
sponsored by the parent club held in the
same year, 1941.
