Home Forums Birds & Dogs Hunting Dogs German Short-haired Pointers - Comment?

not a soft tail, in fact she wasn't hunting on that picture, she just discovered with her nose that some cat was lying in the high grass of the neihbour's horse prairie ...

See her pointing attitude on a pheasant or other true games she usually hunts (pheasants, partridges, woodcocks, foxes, hares and rabbits. She also usually points roe deer when hunting woodcock in december):





in fact her tail can be a usefil indicator about what she points

Note that cutting the tails is now forbidden in Begium. Every dog born since january 2005 has now a full length tail.

I think GSP's from french breeders usually have more pointy noses, because they introduced english pointer blood at some time in the breed, probably to improve field trial results. Original GSP are more all terrain gun dogs than pointers and i do prefer them that way.
