ABOUT GSP DOGS
The German Shorthaired Pointer or Deutsch Kurzhaar is a German breed of continental pointing dog of Braque type. It originated in the nineteenth century in what is now Germany. It is of medium size, and is an all-purpose gun dog suitable for hunting and retrieving on both land and water. It may also be kept as a companion dog.
The pointing dog breeds of Europe all derive from the now-extinct Old Spanish Pointer, which spread through France and the Low Countries and reached the princely houses of the German-speaking world, where at first they were used in bird-hunting with nets or falcons, and later by huntsmen with guns. Bird dogs were also brought from England; Carl von Heppe, in his Aufrichtiger Lehrprinz of 1751, describes these as taller and stronger than the local type. In the nineteenth century large numbers of dogs of Burgos Pointing Dog type were brought to Germany. In the early part of that century, the resulting mixed population had no specific name – the dogs were called Hühnerhunde (‘bird dogs’) or Jagdhunde (‘hunting dogs’).
In 1878, at the annual dog show of the Verein zur Veredelung der Hunderassen in Frankfurt am Main, it was agreed that breed standards for German dogs would be established at the show to be held in Hannover in 1879; standards for both the Deutsch Kurzhaar and the Deutsch Langhaar were introduced in that year. The first stud-book for the Kurzhaar was published in 1897.
The Kurzhaar was definitively accepted by the Fédération Cynologique Internationale in 1954. In 2013, it was in twenty-second place on a list of the most-registered dog breeds worldwide. In the fifteen years from 2007 to 2021, the annual number of new registrations in Germany averaged about 1300, with a low of 1102 and a high of 1842. It was recognized by the American Kennel Club in 1930; a three year-old dog of this breed was classed “best in show” at the Westminster Kennel Club Dog Show in 2016
HOW WE BECAME GSP BREEDERS
Thanks for visiting our website. I am called Castro Gonzalez. my wife and i, We have been breeding this lovely breed dogs since 2016. My wife and I are pet lovers so we took up the initiative to breed these lovely dog breed to satisfy the needs of families who will want to own or add a new member to their family. My knowledge about the GSP has grown as the years go by as they are a dog breed that are very smart and make us to learn new things everyday. My history with owning a puppy goes right back to my Christmas holidays when I was 10 years old. My parents bought me a lovely GSP puppy which I named Liam. Liam gave me a lot of childhood memories when I was growing as a teen. He was more than a best friend to me. He was so lovely and friendly. Each time I got angry back then about something, Liam was always there to console me and make me smile again. I always thought he could talk as he understood me so much. I always speak to him at times hoping he will respond. Everywhere I went to, Liam was with me. I met my wife in college. We were very good friends back then. She loved Liam until she insisted her parents should get her a GSP. That was how our love for this lovely dog breed grew up. Our dogs use to play together . Unfortunately in our later years at college, I lost my lovely puppy Liam. We grew up loving each other so much and loving this dog breed. Later on, We got married and with our love for GSP’s, we decided to breed and raise this dog breed and why not educate puppy lovers about the importance of owning a GSP puppy. Fast forward to today, my wife and I raise our 2 kids and breed the Puppies on our 3 acres of land where our puppies have enough space to play around. My family and I are dedicated to help everyone own the perfect, healthy puppy for their home. With our knowledge of this dog breed from childhood, we will say GSP’s are the best dogs to own. We spend our time in training these puppies and making sure we help families own the most intelligent of this dog breed. If you want a family loving and good training dog, then you have come to the right place. Visit our available puppies page to see our amazing puppies available for their new home
