Introduction
German Shorthaired Pointers are very noble looking and are avid hunters. German hunters used the breed to hunt duck and other birds. They have an innate sense of smell and are very good at tracking prey. They like the water, they possess great talent, and are often champions in hunting competitions.
The German Shorthaired Pointer is nothing short of gorgeous. Their coat can be multiple colors of brown, black, white, and tan. The head of the dog is a solid color of brown or black. The dog’s aristocratic look makes them very popular, and the personality of this friendly canine makes the dog lovable.
This dog is an excellent hunting dog, but is also a loyal family companion and house dog. This active pup requires plenty of exercise, although the German Shorthaired Pointer is perfectly content being a couch potato at times. This dog is very affectionate and is wonderful with small children.

Dafi, a dashing bomb-sniffing dog in Baltimore, was showcased in a news story in April of 2018. Dafi was being used in the airport to target potential bombs being brought into the airport. The handler discusses the German Shorthaired Pointer breed, and how they can be trained to sniff out any suspicious activity and make great K9 dogs.
They were tightening up security at many airports using this breed, in addition to German Shepherds, as that time of year was getting closer to the anniversary of the death of Osama Bin Laden. Using bomb-sniffing dogs can also speed up security and checkpoint areas, as they can simply walk up and smell luggage and detect anything suspicious. The handler says that doing this job is more like a game to Dafi, who is super friendly on top of being super smart!
