The New Complete German Shorthaired Pointer

Mr. McKowen picked up where C.D.Maxwell left off. This is the breed bible. Mr. McKowen's extensive experience and knowledge of the breed affords novice owners and people researching the breed with a wealth of valuable information. The book also provides veteran owners with a nicely organized reference. Required reading!

Robert McKeown gives a through knowledge of the history of the german shorthair without being bias. Robert gives alot of factual data of how the blood lines where developed from imports to what the gsp is today and the future. Robert McKowen includes every type of organization that evaluates our hunting/show partners if its navhda, nstra, field trials, bench shows,or the hunt tests. He has listed every champion from bench to field that has shaped of what the gsp is today in the U.S. If you are a proud owner, breeder, or just wanting to learn about the "greats" that started the german shorthair in the U.S. this book is for you. Great book I really enjoyed reading.

An excellant updated history, especially of the GSP in USA

This not a "how to" book, rather an updated story of the German Shorthaired Pointer. Up to date and accurate. The very best since C. Bede Maxwell's fine book from 1982. If you want to know the history and the direction of the breed in America this is the best thing available.
