German Longhaired Pointers require huge amounts of exercise. They will need between one and two hours of running around in open spaces to satisfy them
As their coats are long keeping your dog well-groomed can be challenging and we would recommend that you maintain them with simple brushing every day to stop mats, tangles and knots developing After a muddy walk simply wash lower legs if dirty usually simply with water and dry off
The GLP was developed in Germany for use as a pointer. It was originally a rather slow dog, and was crossed with setters and English Pointers in the 19th century to improve speed. Like most of the longhaired pointing breeds, the breed is descended from the point spaniel.
