German Longhaired Pointers

German Longhaired Pointers

The German Longhaired Pointer as their name suggests was first developed as a gundog in Germany where they have always been extremely highly prized not only as working dogs but as companions and family pets too. They are friendly loyal and intelligent dogs being just as home in a home environment as they are in the field. As such German Longhaired Pointers are starting to win a fanbase in the UK and other parts of the world.
