Story
🐾 Meet Pal 🐾Purebred German Shorthaired Pointer (GSP)Pal is a male, ~6-month-old German Shorthaired Pointer looking for a breed-savvy, active family. At just 6 months old, he already weighs 51 lbs and is not done growing—adult male GSPs can reach up to 80 lbs. He’s young, strong, and full of potential.Pal is mostly house trained, with the occasional puppy accident. He tolerates being crated, has lived with other dogs and did great, and while he has not lived with cats, he has seen outdoor cats—due to his natural instincts, moving cats could be very tempting to chase. 🐱➡️🏃♂️He has not lived with children but has been around kids under 5 and did fine. That said, Pal is energetic, strong, and still learning his manners, so families should be mindful that he doesn’t yet realize how easy it is to knock little ones over.Like most puppies, Pal loves to chew, so adopters should be prepared to provide appropriate chew items and continue teaching him the difference between his belongings and yours. 😄✨ About the Breed – German Shorthaired Pointer:GSPs are friendly, intelligent, loyal, eager to please, and highly energetic. They thrive with active families who enjoy outdoor adventures.
