German Shorthair Pointers (GSP) I have had five of them in my lifetime it is my breed of choice. This is a video of our current pack of dogs. While they are hunting and competition dogs, well the Shorthairs are competition dogs. They are also a key family members aka house dogs. While some of my hunting friends will claim it ruins them for hunting I would disagree. Five GSP's in my life, all have been great hunting companions and competitors that would say otherwise.
