New dog
long story long:
grew up with black labs but always wanted to try a gsp
wife's dogs died this year
daughter constantly asked about them being in heaven and if we could get another... we were taking a break from dogs and would say no
daughter started first grade this year. and on the second day back was embarrassed by the substitute teacher. she wet her pants during a test and had to announce it front of the class because the teacher wouldn’t come to her desk. She then had to clean up her desk in front of the class after changing clothes. None of the classmates cared, but it’s the principle
I G.A.T.A on the teacher. Told my daughter to chin up, be tough, and I got you. 8 weeks later I surprised her
man of the year status confirmed. Check!

Cute pup
Cute puppy, precious daughter, and excellent dad. Crappy teacher. The school should never let her sub again.
Thanks broette and lessons were learned the next day. Momma bear came out and I cleaned up the pieces with the daughter and school hahaha
Check my dude!
GSP’s are great sporting dogs but amazing pets, too! My dad had one that lived for like 15 years and we loved him (Rex) soooo much!
Who could be mean to a sweet face like that?!? I bet she loves that puppy forever.
I LOVE GSP’s. Absolutely wonderful dogs. Very smart and super loyal. Not sure I’ll ever own another breed. Congratulations!!!
What’s his/her name?
Sorry, please educate the ignorant. GSP=?
Also, @JRT812, good on you. Cute little girl and cute pup.
I hope for many years of great memories for y’all!
german shorthaired pointer
Thanks!
Thank you! Not the name I would have gone with but my girl went with Heidi Mae. Said check and that’s her name
also, any tips or suggestions to owning a gsp? First one
thats what I thought, but I’m biased I guess haha. Thank you
Thanks @Kasey bro and she is liver roan color. Appreciate the kind words!
I really wanted a male and had second pick of the litter, but my girl selected her. I’m excited for various reasons. Hopefully she ends up hitting the field hard
Heidi Mae is a great name.. Heidi - very German.
Primary tip would be to make sure she gets plenty of exercise. They’ve got energy and can go stir crazy if she doesn’t get out enough. Second tip would be to make sure she gets some training. They’re very smart dogs and like most enjoy having tasks to do to make their owners happy. A well trained dog is a happy dog and that definitely applies to this breed.
