Which dog breed is right for you?
The German Shorthaired Pointer — or GSP — was developed in 19th-century Germany as the ultimate versatile hunting dog, capable of pointing, retrieving, and tracking game on land and in water. Standing 21–25 inches tall and weighing 45–70 pounds, this athletic breed has a short, dense, water-repellent coat in distinctive liver and white patterns — solid liver, liver and white ticked, liver and white patched, or liver roan. Their streamlined, muscular build and noble head profile reflect generations of careful breeding for both form and function.
German Shorthaired Pointers are enthusiastic, affectionate, and virtually tireless — they approach every activity with full commitment and boundless energy. They are wonderful family dogs that thrive on inclusion in all household activities and are genuinely good-natured with children and other dogs. However, their intensity and need for purpose mean they are not suited to sedentary households — a bored GSP can become remarkably destructive.

The Soft Coated Wheaten Terrier originated in Ireland over 200 years ago as an all-purpose farm dog — herding livestock, guarding property, and dispatching vermin, earning it the nickname "the poor man's wolfhound." These medium-sized dogs stand 17 to 19 inches tall and weigh 30 to 40 pounds, with a sturdy, compact build beneath their distinctive coat. Their single-layer, silky, wavy coat matures from a dark puppy color to its signature warm wheaten gold by about two years of age — and unlike most terriers, it is soft rather than wiry.
Soft Coated Wheaten Terriers are exuberant, affectionate, and joyful — known for their characteristic "Wheaten greeting" where they enthusiastically jump up to lick faces, which can be endearing or problematic depending on the recipient. They are deeply devoted to their families, excellent with children, and more tolerant of other dogs than many terrier breeds. Their happy, bouncy energy remains well into adulthood, and they approach life with an infectious enthusiasm that brightens any household.
The Wheaten Terrier's joyful spirit and soft golden coat are hard to resist — discover available Wheatens on Puplister.
