The German Longhaired Pointer is a very rare breed in North America. Its origin is from Germany.
They are very good water bird hunting dogs. Exceptionally friendly and a great pet if not used for
hunting. They love the water and will dive to up to 10 feet under water to retrieve.

GLP's are easy to train and good listeners. The following pictures are of "Niner" a GLP I owned since 8 weeks. Like I say a very obedient dog. She for instance with the "Stay" command would sit and stay 300 yards away and come when you'd call her.

She also was trained to get the paper from the "papertube" at the corner of the road at our house.

After that she was trained to get the mail from the mailbox. She would open the mailbox door and retrieve what was in it and bring it to the house. Never would drop one piece. After a while she got familiar with the sound from the mailcar engine and asked to be let out when she heard the car coming. Very, very smart dogs.
Sometimes too smart because she started to bypass the mailbox and just would run up to the driver in the mailcar who would give her the mail.

She passed away some time ago and I always wanted to have another one but they are hard to find in Canada.
