are german wirehaired pointers good family dogs
Prey Drive. German Shorthaired Pointers usually live amicably with other dogs, although some GSPs have aggressive tendencies toward dogs of the same sex. GSPs as a breed are not good with cats and small pets unless introduced to them at an early age. This behavior is part of being a GSP as they were bred to hunt. You can teach them to live with other small animals, but their strong prey drive makes it dangerous if the cat runs from the dog.
