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.

This book is great, but does not tell how to train to hunt,
By Delbert -- email= trebled77@hotmail.com (California/Organ border) - See all my reviews
This review is from: The New Complete German Shorthaired Pointer (Dog Breed Books) (Hardcover)
This is a great book for the person who wants to know the history of the GSP. There is alot of information on the breed and where it came from and is going. If you think this book is going to give tips on specific training for the GSP it does not!! Over all it is a good book if you want to learn the history of your GSP past and present. This book also gives names and {BLK/WHT} photos of champions.

This review is from: The New Complete German Shorthaired Pointer (Dog Breed Books) (Hardcover)
This not a "how to" book, rather an updated story of the German Shorthaired Pointer. Up to date and accurate. The very best since C. Bede Maxwell's fine book from 1982. If you want to know the history and the direction of the breed in America this is the best thing available.

The New Complete German Shorthaired Pointer,
By Gesele Dreslinski (Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania) - See all my reviews
This review is from: The New Complete German Shorthaired Pointer (Dog Breed Books) (Hardcover)
Mr. McKowen picked up where C.D.Maxwell left off. This is the breed bible. Mr. McKowen's extensive experience and knowledge of the breed affords novice owners and people researching the breed with a wealth of valuable information. The book also provides veteran owners with a nicely organized reference. Required reading!
