Walking a German Shorthaired Pointer
GSPs are tireless field dogs; they tend to need plenty of structured outlet for their energy.
Tireless athletes built for field work — GSPs need substantial daily exercise and do well running alongside a cyclist or on long hikes. Mental engagement (tracking games, training on walks) is as important as distance. Without adequate outlet their energy becomes difficult to manage; a well-exercised GSP is a noticeably calmer house dog.
