German Shorthaired Pointer: After 4 years, still the best dog breed for families

Our German Shorthaired Pointer has been part of our family for 4 years and I still get emotional thinking about how much she has enriched our lives. versatile and athletic — and with two young kids, that means everything.

affectionate with family. We've tried other breeds before but nothing compares to the German Shorthaired Pointer's temperament. She is versatile, friendly, eager and adapts beautifully to our busy household.

The main things to budget for: separtion anxiety. We also learned about lymphedema, so we get regular vet checkups. Overall cost is higher than I expected initially, but every penny is worth it. Highly recommend this breed to anyone and everyone.
