General Appearance
The German Shorthair Pointer is a versatile hunter,
an all-purpose gun dog capable of high performance in
field and water. The judgment of German Shorthair pointer
in the show ring reflects this basic characteristic.
The overall picture which is created in the observer's
eye is that of an aristocratic, well balanced, symmetrical
animal with conformation indicating power, endurance
and agility and a look of intelligence and animation.
The dog is neither unduly small nor conspicuously large.
It gives the impression of medium size, but is like
the proper hunter, "with a short back, but standing
over plenty of ground." Symmetry and field quality
are most essential. A dog in hard and lean field condition
is not to be penalized; however, overly fat or poorly
muscled dogs are to be penalized. A dog well balanced
in all points is preferable to one with outstanding
good qualities and defects. Grace of outline, clean-cut
head, sloping shoulders, deep chest, powerful back,
strong quarters, good bone composition, adequate muscle,
well carried tail and taut coat produce a look of nobility
and indicate a heritage of purposefully conducted breeding.
Further evidence of this heritage is movement which
is balanced, alertly coordinated and without wasted
motion.
