German Shorthaired Pointers 2005 Wall Calendar
Whether you're looking for an
all-purpose hunting dog or a wonderful family pet, the German
Shorthaired Pointer, a handsome, intelligent, capable and
affectionate dog, is the perfect choice! Originally developed in
Germany, where it is known as the "Kurzhaar", the German
Shorthaired Pointer has been used to hunt fur or feather on land
or over water, and has been renowned for it's hunting and
tracking skills, pointing and retrieving ability, watchdog
prowess and very likeable disposition since the 17th century.
Developed from a cross between the
Spanish Pointer and the Bloodhound, the earlier Kurzhaars were
heavier and less agile than the modern German Shorthaired
Pointer breed. In an effort to create a faster dog with a keener
scenting ability, English Pointer Bloodlines were introduced.
Centuries of selective breeding for expert hunting ability have
produced the clean look and abundant skills of this very popular
breed.
The German Shorthaired Pointer was
brought to North America in the 1920's, and has since grown very
popular as both an excellent sporting dog and cherished family
pet. Sturdy, hardy and quite active, German Shorthaired
Pointers have a short, hard, dense coat that comes in liver and
white, liver roan or solid liver.
They require minimal grooming; a
thorough weekly brushing and proper ear care are all that are
required to keep your dog looking and feeling his best. Males
measure 23 to 25 inches at the shoulder and weigh from 55 to 70
pounds, and females are two inches and 10 pounds less. These
wonderful dogs love family life and do well in either a suburban
or country setting. Plenty of daily exercise and attention is
needed to keep your German Shorthaired Pointer happy and
healthy. |
