Everyone has been so helpful as I consider whether I should get a GSP... so here's a video of him playing. Darn... he's so darn cute! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AxUjC3Rr1gU

He looks like a cute one with great personality. I am not sure he is pure GSP based on just his looks, but he certainly has allot of shorthair in him. Good luck in what ever you decide.

He is cute! but I agree they way his ear are make me think something else is mixed in... plus that is an unusual face marking for a gsp but I suppose it could happen...

He definitely is a cutie and looks like a barrel of fun; although, I do agree, I'm not sure he is pure GSD. Guess it depends on your future plans. For a companion, looks like he'd be great.

He's a cutie. first thing I thought of was border collie, it could very well be english pointer mixed in. For what you are looking for, I think he makes a good match,of course you don't really know someone until you live with them for a month.LOL!

Yes, I believe he is a mix, too. The rescue thinks he MIGHT have some dalmatian in him? English pointer makes sense too, from afar. I don't much care that he is not pure... he might have a bit more "mellow" mixed in! They sent another video. He seems to play very gently with the little dogs and not a single bark to be heard: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oB78RVUMSik&feature=g-upl

Oh my gosh . . . I don't think you can go wrong with him. No doubt he will be entertaining and that alone tells me he has some GSP in him, probably not 100% GSP but what a personality. Roz

This is the first time I have been able to watch as they wouldn't link on my phone. What a lover. I think he'd bring you years of laughs and fun. I say this as mine is currently tossing around what we call her "wrecking ball"...a huge rope ball toy. Her back feet stay planted and she just goes in circles. She's a nut... and I adore her.

He plays just like a pointer. In Fact Hanna plays with other dogs with the same energy and cuteness. She is Miss Congeniality at the dog park . When I began my ernest search for a pointer puppy I found a breeder who bred both liver and white and black and white. I saw black and white variations similar to the mostly white and liver GSP's Because of the way he is marked its difficult to see the pointed knob at the top of the head which is so typical of GSP's Hanna's ears are a bit shorter that the norm and that makes her looks a bit non typical. She got papers so she's the real deal. The docked tail is a good indicator that someone would take a puppy to a vet to have it done.Hes not been altered I believe so he may have even been considered for breeding. Hanna's father was soild black with white on the chest .I'm no expert but have seen enough to know there are no two diamonds a like. to make a judgement call to say hes not a pure bred GSP. His body is muscled just like Hannas and he looks to be about the same size. Hanna is smaller than my last female which I absolutely love . Hannas holding at 45lbs. I like the way he plays and he looks very solid and healthy.If your not fussy about the colour or markings the way I am I'd grab him for a tryout at the very least.
