Those who consider the German Shorthaired Pointer everything that could be desired in a dog take justifiable pride in the breed's ability to do, and do well, what it was originally bred for. The German Shorthair's fame as a "Can-Do" dog is well-documented in "The New Complete German Shorthaired Pointer, " by Robert H. McGowen. This book is a vivid portrait of what this popular hunting dog is all about, how it came to a place of prominence as a shooting companion, field trial topper and show star and all that can be desired in a family dog.
