DOG OF THE DAY: Wyatt, Charles Kennett’s GSP, looking forward to the upcoming season.

GSP  History: Although having appeared in paintings dating back to the late-mid 1700′s, the precise origin of the German Shorthaired Pointer is unclear. It is likely that the GSP is descended from a breed known as the German Bird Dog, which is related to the old Spanish pointer introduced to Germany in the 17th century. It is also likely that various German hound and tracking dogs, as well as the English Pointer and the Arkwright Pointer, also contributed to the development of the breed.
