Breed History
 The g.s.p originated from the German working man's need for one versatile all purpose hunting dog.
Derived from
descendants of the old Spanish Pointer, certain German tracking hounds, the English Foxhound & eventually the English Pointer.
The origin
of the g.s.p cannot be described precisely. Prior to the establishment of the Klub Kurzhaar stud book in the 1870's few records are available.
The first documented g.s.p imported to the U.S
was in 1925 by Dr. Charles Thorton. The g.s.p was first admitted to the stud book of the A.K.C in march 1930.
The first A.K.C licensed show for g.s.p's
was held by the G.S.P club of America at the International Kennel Club show in Chicago on March 29 &30, 1941.
The first A.K.C licensed field trial for the breed
was also held by the parent club at Anoka, Minn., on May 21, 1944.
General Appearance
The g.s.p is a versatile hunter, an all-purpose gun dog capable of high performance in the field or in water.
The overall picture created in the observer's eye, is that of an aristocratic, noble, well-balanced, symmetrical animal, with conformation indicating power, endurance and agility and a look of intelligence and animation.
Neither to small or conspicuously large. It gives the impression of medium size, with a short back standing over plenty of ground. Tall leggy dogs, or dogs which are ponderous or unbalanced should be definitely rejected.
The first impression is that of keeness, which denotes full enthusiasm for work without indication of nervous or flighty character.








 If you're looking for a dog you can be proud of,
a dog with guaranteed intelligence.
If you're looking for a true "brag dog", than you want a well breed
