Duitse Staande Hond Langhaar, also known as GLP, Deutsch Langhaar,, as the name suggests, was first developed as a hunting dog in Germany, where they have always been highly valued not only as a working dog, but also as a companion and family dog. They are friendly, loyal and intelligent dogs that are as comfortable in the home environment as they are in the field. As a result, the German Longhaired Pointers is gaining a growing following in the UK and other parts of the world.
