The GLP should be muscular, elegant, and athletic. It should not be bulky or cumbersome, and it should be able to move with great speed and freedom. It has moderate bone, but has substance, and must never look frail or weak. Like all German pointers, they have webbed feet. Watch out for aggression in puppy years.

GLPs are a kind, gentle, friendly, and intelligent breed. They are very affectionate, and may experience separation anxiety.

It is very sociable with dogs.
