It's time for me to speak my mind a little. If this does not pertain to you, I am really glad. If what I am about to say affects you or someone you have seen or know... please take it to heart and think before you leap!

The German Shorthaired Pointer is a sweet natured bundle of energy. Your dog is chewing up the house or being destructive to the point of exhaustion of its family, right? This is a frustrated dog most of the time! Once they neared AKC Top Ten status (they are currently number 9 on the list), it seemed everyone wanted one for the family. It is reputed to be a great family dog and quite trainable and it lives up to that reputation all over the world.

BUT, if you think this dog will fit into your family, you are sometimes dead wrong. And I see those dogs all over Facebook much too often. Rehoming our GSP for a myriad of reasons... Rehoming fee (sale price) is required. After all, you paid good money for this too active, crazy acting pointer...

The GSP is a great hunter. It is also a great family dog. According to AKC "The German Shorthaired Pointer (GSP) was developed in the late 1800s in Germany. Breeders were trying to create a dog that would perform many different hunting-related tasks, based on instinct rather than training. They wanted a dog that could hunt prey of any size, both furred and feathered; point out game to the hunter; retrieve the game that had been shot; and track wounded game. And all of this needed to be carried out in dense cover in the field or forest and in the water. As if that wasn’t enough, they also wanted a dog that would be an excellent family companion. They achieved their goal in the German Shorthaired Pointer."

It is not a terribly old breed and its hunting instincts are finely tuned through the process of developing the breed. It will point birds, squirrels, deer, lizards, butterflies... anything that catches its attention!

It is an active dog and it needs training and this is where the GSP gets into trouble! Consider any athlete. The energy level can be, and sometimes is to the rest of us, off the charts. If your GSP is not getting enough exercise or is bored to tears trying to fit into some families, it is going to get into trouble. That is a fact, not a guess. Boredom often goes along with not enough to do. This breed likes to have a job!

I know one person that has a houseful of GSPs and all of them are happy, well adjusted dogs. No, she doesn't live on 100 acres +/- and she does not hunt. She does love to watch them pointing critters and bugs and lizards that come into her normal sized yard. I love to brag on her and how she handles her pack of GSPs.... along with the other dogs she owns. She understands their needs. She accommodates their need of exercise and discipline. Her dogs love her, and they don't tear up anything.

My point is.... before you tangle with a GSP, figure out if you can deal with a high energy, highly tuned hunter because that's what that cute puppy is going to become in a few months! Beauty is only in the eye of the beholder, and beauty fades quickly when you have learned the hard way that you are not the right family for a GSP.

And... don't even get me started on color, or on breeders who sell cheap pups and give you no help down the road...

Early Spay Neuter: 3 Reasons To Reconsider

Spaying And Neutering /

Health Implications in Early Spay and Neuter in Dogs

____________________________

Early Spay-Neuter Considerations for the Canine Athlete
Orthopedic Considerations
A study by Salmeri et al in 1991 found that bitches spayed at 7 weeks grew significantly taller than those spayed at 7 months, who were taller than those not spayed (or presumably spayed after the growth plates had closed). A study of 1444 Golden Retrievers performed in 1998 and 1999 also found bitches and dogs spayed and neutered at less than a year of age were significantly taller than those spayed or neutered at more than a year of age. The sex hormones, by communicating with a number of other growthrelated hormones, promote the closure of the growth plates at puberty, so the bones of dogs or bitches neutered or spayed before puberty continue to grow. Dogs that have been spayed or neutered well before puberty can frequently be identified by their longer limbs, lighter bone structure, narrow chests and narrow skulls. This abnormal growth frequently results in significant alterations in body proportions and particularly the lengths (and therefore weights) of certain bones relative to others. For example, if the femur has achieved its genetically determined normal length at 8 months when a dog gets spayed or neutered, but the tibia, which normally stops growing at 12 to 14 months of age continues to grow, then an abnormal angle may develop at the stifle. In addition, with the extra growth, the lower leg below the stifle likely becomes heavier (because it is longer), and may cause increased stresses on the cranial cruciate ligament. In addition, sex hormones are critical for achieving peak bone density. These structural and physiological alterations may be the reason why at least one recent study showed that spayed and neutered dogs had a higher incidenc of CCL rupture.
