Typically the German Shorthaired Pointer is an intelligent, bold and affectionate dog.\u00a0 Even better is the fact that they are cooperative and easily trained.\u00a0 If you are thinking about getting one of these amazing dogs then I hope you are prepared to exercise them daily.\u00a0 These particular breeds have a lot of energy and if they stay cooped up then they will start amusing themselves.\u00a0 And I have a feeling that you won’t like the way they entertain themselves when you aren’t looking.<\/p>\n
