German Shepherd Shorthaired Pointer Dog Breed

Below are details and specs for the German Shepherd Shorthaired Pointer dog breed.

At their best, they are intelligent, friendly, and affectionate. This hybrid breed is known for being gentle, loyal, intelligent, easy going, and friendly. Unaware of their large size, they regularly have a desire to challenge larger dogs that they meet in public, so it's important to protect them from themselves. They are loyal and good with kids but because of their size they should be managed when interacting with them. As much as they love to play and be part of the physical action, they also love being close and bonding with their human.

They are a very playful dog, and great with children, caring nothing more than to play, chase, and run around for ages. These dogs can be rather energetic, but much of their stamina is easily expended with indoor play. They will view strangers with reserve but are not aggressive and, while rarely barking, make fine watch dogs. They are not aggressive and are typically not overly territorial either. He should not be left alone for long periods of time or relegated to the backyard as an outside dog. They may not always be the best for first-time dog owners as these dogs require a lot of patience in obedience training.
