what are the pros and cons of a German Shorthaired Pointer as a pet?”
The German Shorthaired Pointer Sporting Group The German Shorthaired Pointer, while primarily used in hunting, can be a good family dog. Plays well with children (may be too “peppy” for younger kids). OK with other dogs but may try to catch your cats. Low maintenance grooming but needs lots of exercise. Older dogs can be suited for a quieter life style, but younger dogs are better suited for a country environment where a fenced yard is available.
