German shorthaired pointers are commonly used in hunting. They are high-energy dogs that need a lot of exercise. Although their short hair rarely sheds, making them great for indoor living, they need to remain active. That is why they do best when owners spend plenty of time outdoors with them. While they can develop hip dysplasia and some cancers, they typically live 10 to 12 healthy years.
