C. Bede Maxwell wrote the best sourcebook on the German Shorthaired Pointer I have ever read. I have owned 4 German Shorthaired Pointers and am involved in GSP rescue (Mid-Atlantic German Shorthaired Pointer Rescue; ... My daughter has two GSPs, my sister has had five. Bede Maxewll's book was the first book on the breed I purchased after I bought my first GSP 30 years ago. No other book ever came close. She traced the breed back to the standards in Germany. It turned out that my first GSP was from some of those standards, both international and dual international champions. Since then, I have used the book often. I just purchased my 4th copy because it seems every time I loan it out it never comes back. It's a great source of information on German Shorthaired Pointers and a must own for anyone interested in the breed.

This is not a training book however it is an excellent book on the history and bloodlines of the GSP in both the field and show ring. It truly is a must for someone who is seriously trying to breed quality GSP.

Excellent book for breeders, or anyone who is fascinated by the GSP breed history! Second only to Georgina Byrne's classic "Der Deutsch-Kurzhaar."
