GERMAN LONGHAIRED POINTER

It’s difficult to make statements based on such small numbers, however it was a pleasure to undertake this appointment, my first at Championship Level. Some dogs were a little unsettled, but that was forgivable given the speed and haste at which handlers were changing charges. I have seen this breed work which is a joy and I do hope that they continue to gain in popularity as the breed has type and soundness and it would be lovely to see more of them.
