Title
Covey Run Kennels Deutsch Kurzhaars (GSP's)
Description
The short answer is that the Deutsch Kurzhaar is registered with a different registration body than the GSP. In reality, however, the Kurzhaar is truly a separate breed from the American derivative, the German Shorthaired Pointer. The Kurzhaar is bred according to a strict set of breed standards, which require testing in ability, conformation, and temperament before being allowed to breed. The GSP, on the other hand, as registered by the AKC, FDSB, NAVHDA and GSPCA, have only one requirement necessary before breeding—that both parents be registered members of the GSP breed.
The GSP's development in the US is in the hands of individual breeders, who have a variety of interests. Some are hunters, some are field trialers, some are only bench show fanciers. Some breeders round out their interests, and seek a dog that fulfills all of it's intentions,—hunting and conformation, but these are in the minority. Because of the diversity of these interests, the GSP and the DK breeds have diverged considerably over the years, even though they originally descended from the same stock. To help ensure that the versatility and original functions of the breed were not lost here in the US, the North American Deutsch Kurzhaar Club (NADKC) was formed with the help of the parent club (the DKV) in Germany).
The NADKC is a breed organization dedicated to the development, breeding and continuous improvement of the versatile hunting Kurzhaar. Its organizational objectives are achieved by means of stringent breeding regulations, practical field tests, and high standards of conduct. The DKV has many members divided into individual clubs in many countries, including Canada, and the United States.
