The GSPC of Reno is committed to supporting our members and their families. As part of that commitment—and as an opportunity for us to learn and grow together—we chose to participate in a First Aid/CPR/AED certification course so we can be prepared to help if an emergency arises.

We’re also pleased to offer this training to our members at a discounted rate of $55.00 per person, with the club covering the remaining cost. It’s our way of showing how strongly we believe in the value and importance of this lifesaving education.  Please email webgspc@gmail.com for more information or to reserve your spot in our class!!

Annually, GSPC host a Riding Field Trials for all Pointing Breeds to test their hunting skill in a competitive AKC event. Dog are judged against each other earning placement of first-fourth. The ultimate goal is to reach enough placement points to earn the coveted FC and/or AFC titles. Riding Field trials are done with competitors on horseback as dogs are known to range great distances. ​​

Each year GSPC host two Walking Field Trials (spring & fall) for all Pointing Breeds to test their skill in a competitive AKC event. Dog are judged against each other on hunting skill earning placement of first-fourth. The ultimate goal is to reach enough placement points to earn the coveted FC and/or AFC titles. Walking Field trials are done with competitors on foot. Dogs are expected to range within hunting distance of a man on foot.

Each year we host a Double/Double Hunt Test for all Pointing Breeds to test their skill against AKC standard. Here dogs are rated and judged on their own independent skills and can earn non-competitive pass/fail toward their Junior, Senior, Master hunt test titles.

 In the fall of each year GSPC of Reno host annually their Specialty Show in conjunction with the Bonanza Kennel Club in Carson City, Nevada. Here the best of the breeding stock is judged for the future of the German Shorthair Pointer. There is no better place to learn about the German Shorthair than at a Specialty Show.
