German Shorthaired Pointers come in a wide variety of colors ranging from solid liver to white with brown spots; there are even black GSPs.

​Below are several examples of the wide range of colors found in the breed.

---

Black & White, Ticked and Patched with a Blaze.

---

A solid black GSP.

---

---

“White factor” – not much ticking,
white is ‘extra white’ with patches.

---

“Saddle” markings.

---

A dark liver Roan

---

Solid liver GSPs;  many also have white chests.

---

Another misconception is that GSPs always have docked tails. While it can help in identifying a dog, it is not a rule. Below are some beautiful GSPs with undocked tails.

---

GSP’s can also vary in size; from females as small as 35lbs to males as large as 90lbs.

​Sometimes mixes and English Pointers can be misidentified as GSP’s.

While GSPs vary in looks, they tend to all have a similar disposition.

They are athletic, energetic, and very people oriented.
