The Montana German Shorthaired Pointer Club welcomes all owners, breeders and pointing/hunting/sporting dogs to join the club.
The major benefit of membership is meeting and interacting with members who have trained pointing dogs professionally as well as those who are just starting out. Members enjoy reduced entry fees for club events.
Our members own a variety of pointing dogs and live from one end of the state to the other. We hold approximately four meetings per year and members are invited to attend via phone.
Our club maintains this website.
The Montana German Shorthaired Pointer Club is also active in rescue. Members may participate in rescue efforts by providing temporary foster homes, adopting a rescue dog, assisting with transportation or donating food, money or other items.
Our club is comprised of a wide variety of members with many interests. However, we all enjoy the opportunities to get together and work with pointing dogs.
2009 Rescue Calendars are available now. Click here to get yours today!

German Shorthaired Pointer
German Shorthaired Pointers were bred by German huntsmen who combined the best of Fox hounds, German Pointers and Scent hounds. The result was a breed that was heavier, longer eared and slower than today's Shorthair. Later the early GSPs were crossed with the English Pointer to give us a dog that is both lighter and faster. An unbeatable field dog, they are easily trained and affectionate. Avg. Wt. 55-70 lbs. Ht: 23-25". Coat: Hard. Color: Solid liver or liver and white.
