Product Information

These dogs were born to hunt, which means they’re easily distracted by all the things they smell and see to chase. You might think they are scatterbrained or are uninterested in training; they’re just really fascinated by what’s going on around them. To help them stay focused, keep training sessions short, use delicious treats to hold their attention on you and take lots of play breaks before either of you get frustrated. Their easily distracted nature is why they’re better suited to an experienced pup parent and may be too frustrating for first-timers. If you want a professional to take care of your German Shorthaired Pointer’s coat, you won’t have to spend a lot of money. Visiting a groomer once or twice a year is more than enough for these dogs.

Gut Health: A raw diet is said to keep the gut in better shape than a diet of dry food. Processed food isn’t very healthy and correctly sourced; fresh meat seems to be the logical option for some dog owners. While one merle gene causes the distinguishable merle pattern, two will make your dog appear entirely white. However, merle doesn’t just dilute the coat color. It dilutes all pigments in the dog’s body, as well as some other tissues. Before you can get into feeding the dog, you need to understand what can and can’t be fed to a German Shorthaired Pointer. These large dogs thrive when provided the right foods and nutrients. They will look better, act livelier, and be energetic.
