History

The German Shorthaired Pointer (GSP) is a breed of dog developed in the 1800s in Germany for hunting.

They are descended from the old Spanish Pointer, which was taken to Germany in the 1600s. From that time until the first stud book was created in 1870, however, it is impossible to identify all of the dogs that went into creating this breed.

In addition to hunting, the German Shorthaired Pointer has been used in Scandinavia as a sled dog for the popular sport of Dog Sledging.
