In this episode, I dive into what it's really like to share your home with a German Shorthaired Pointer (GSP/shorthair) — an energetic, smart, but high-maintenance dog breed. Shorthairs are a lifestyle and living with one will change your perception of dog ownership. Grab your running shoes and tune in to discover the realistic expectations of life with a GSP.

*For those of you who don't know, I refer to both of my dogs often in this podcast. Blitz is a German Shorthaired Pointer and Ember is a British Lab. My apologies that I wasn't clear about that!

In this episode, I discuss the often-overlooked aspect of a dog's well-being—mental and emotional health. Stress, anxiety and behavioral issues often result from poor mental health and it is important that we address that as a root cause. Join me as I cover what proper mental and emotional health looks like, what are some red flags that our dog needs support, and cover simple ways to keep your dog's mind as healthy as possible. Tune in and learn how to create a more emotionally balanced life for your dog—because a happy dog is a healthy dog!
