A key part of your responsibility as the owner of a German Shorthaired Pointer is to make sure that your dog is not only trained, but supervised. If left outside, your Shorthair should be in a fenced yard or kennel run, not roaming the neighborhood. Loose dogs run the risk of being hit by vehicles, causing accidents, annoying your neighbors, or even being stolen.
