History
The German Longhaired Pointer (GLP) is considered to be the earliest of
the German Pointers.Copperplate engravings and oilpaintings from the 16th
century shows longhaired gundogs of wachteltype in diverse types of
hunting situations, both bird- and big game hunting. They were relatively
small dogs with brown fur, broad heads and docked tails. At that time one
hade not yet begun to use the dogs pointing ability. During the 16th and
17th century this gundog developed into a large, sturdy dog with narrow
and slow field work, hunting with GLP compared to todays hunting with
spaniels.
