Book Reviews of The German Shorthaired Pointer: a Hunter's Guide
Book Review: Well worth adding to library
Summary: 5 Stars
Dave Gowdey is obviously a man who enjoys his dogs, and this book reflects this. Unlike other GSP books this one shows the GSP personality through anecdotes and insights into this breed through years of ownership.The basic origins of the German Shorthair are outlined, and the typical hunting attributes of this companion foot hunting breed. Picking a puppy gives invaluable advice and using positive training and dog behaviour observations rather than the electric collar Dave Gowdey explains clearly how to develop a youngster into a well trained happy hunting dog that will give its owner satisfaction and enjoyment in owning a GSP they trained themself.
I found this book easy to read with a good flow and I recommend it to intending and novice GSP owenrs, and those who like to hunt wild game with their family companion dog.
