3yr old neutered male
Meet Ryder — A Skilled, Loyal German Shorthaired Pointer
Ryder is a neutered 3-year-old purebred German Shorthaired Pointer from three generations of proven hunting dogs. I’ve raised him since he was a puppy, and he’s grown into a highly motivated, intelligent, and steady companion. He’s been crate-trained from day one, has completed behavior training, and is fully e-collar trained — though he’s so responsive now that he hardly needs it anymore. His recall is excellent, and when off-leash in the bush, he naturally sticks close and doesn’t wander far. He is house trained!
Ryder likes his indoor Kennel during the winter and late fall. He will sleep outside in dog run with a bed and crate during the late spring and summer months. Ryder lives with teenagers and Toddlers and He lives with two cats and another dog
Ryder has experience hunting bear, deer, and birds. He’s showing real promise with scent tracking, though I haven’t had the time to fully develop this skill with him. He’s happiest when he’s working and would truly thrive in a home where he can regularly hunt, train, and stay active.
He currently lives on a fenced rural property alongside a German Shepherd. They get along great and spend all day together without issue. While Ryder is capable of easily clearing a 4-foot fence, he chooses to stay home. He is protective of his space and will bark or act wary toward strangers at our gated driveway — a quality some may appreciate.
Ryder is wonderful with our children and a solid family dog. With other dogs, he prefers calm introductions; once he has a chance to get comfortable (usually within minutes), he’s fine and will even play.
The owner's growing family and changing living situation mean we can’t give Ryder the time and active lifestyle he deserves.
He’s a special dog — loyal, talented, and eager to work — and he’ll flourish in a hunting or working-dog household that can keep his mind and body engaged.
If you’re looking for a trained, experienced, and affectionate hunting partner who will stay close, listen well, and love the work, Ryder might be the perfect fit for your family and field.
