We are pleased to offer a charming German Shorthaired Pointer dog for sale. This handsome male, with a striking brown and white coat, is located in Naas and has been well-cared for, being both vaccinated and wormed. At nearly three years of age, he is brimming with energy and affection, making him an ideal companion for active families or individuals who enjoy outdoor activities.
The German Shorthaired Pointer is renowned for its intelligence and versatility, often excelling in both fieldwork and as a loving family pet. They are known for their affectionate nature, forming close bonds with their owners and thriving on human interaction. Additionally, this breed is highly trainable, making them suitable for various canine sports or as a loyal and obedient household member.
Milo is truly an incredible dog—so smart and a total cuddle bug! He loves to snuggle right up on us whenever he can and often tries to sneak into bed when he gets chilly. He has such a wonderful bond with our son(who was 8 months when we got Milo); they play rugby almost every evening, tackling each other and stealing the ball back and forth. Milo is gentle and patient, letting our son hug him and lie on him, and he stays calm even when his ears or tail are tugged at (though we definitely don’t encourage that!). Both Milo and our son thrive outdoors, bringing joy and energy to every adventure together—like two happy brothers!
He also enjoys sniffing around during his adventures, but he never runs off out of sight and comes back easily with just a whistle. He thrives on high-intensity exercise, needing about 30-40 minutes of running at full speed every day. While long walks are nice, they don’t always give him the workout he craves. After his burst of activity, he turns into a lazy sloth, spending most of the day sleeping. He absolutely loves sticks, rubber balls, and catching larger balls in the air.
He’s a quick learner, too! Our son can easily get him to sit, give his paws, and lie down for a treat. Milo socialises well with other dogs and goes to daycare twice a week, where he gets to romp around and have fun! Doing well with all dogs and breeds. He even lets the little one nibble on him without paying attention to them. Having grown up with a cat during his first year, he’s always curious and excited to see them, thinking all cats want to play with him.
However, after moving to Ireland in 2023, Milo experienced a few months of separation anxiety in mid-2024 when my wife started working. During this time, he learned to jump the back gate and recommend that his new home would not have low fence. We simply sloped the footholds, and since then, he hasn’t been able to escape. Thankfully, when he did manage to get over, he never ran away; he simply looked for us at the front door and waited patiently for us to arrive home. The anxiety and fence jumping is now something of the past.
He’s also not the biggest fan of the postman or delivery people putting noise when the mail through the letterbox, but once we open the door for him to meet them, he transforms into the biggest cuddle bug and wraps himself around them!
Unfortunately, due to our relocation abroad and the new country's strict regulations, we won't be able to take him with us and therefore looking for a new energetic family for him.
