Product Description

Although the aristocratic German Shorthaired Pointer is an all-purpose field dog, its high intelligence makes it ideal as a watchdog, and its good nature makes it a companionable family pet. Like all dogs bred for the hunt, this animal should have plenty of exercise. This manual offers sound advice on all aspects of care for German Shorthaired Pointers and is handsomely illustrated with color photos.

1.0 out of 5 stars Not worth the box it is shipped in., January 7, 2001

By	Todd Chrisman (New England) - See all my reviews

This is a generic "how to feed your puppy" book with a couple of pictures of GSP's and one extra chapter devoted to the breed. If you don't already know the information contained in the book, you have never owned a dog in your life. Spend the extra cash on "New Complete GSP's" or "GSP's Today"

5.0 out of 5 stars Good Jumping off Point, December 21, 2001

By	John (West End, NJ United States) - See all my reviews

This book touches all the bases. Excellent for the new dog owner. Make no mistake, it is NOT the end of ones personal gsp library,unless using the dog as "just" a pet. I would recommend others as well. This book does just what it is intended to, introduce the GSP owner with brief history and insight into his/her new K9 friend. For the price you can't beat it.
