This German Shorthaired Pointer is a graceful dog and is still used for hunting. Since it has short hair and does not shed much hair and dander, it is great as a hypoallergenic dog. The hair can be brushed quite easily too. For all these factors, the German shorthaired pointer is considered as great dog for those who have allergies.

For this reason, it is considered to be a great dog for those who have allergy problems. It is quite a good looking dog and used for hunting purposes. It is a lovable and a loyal companion that.

It is not a very obedient dog and will sometimes show its independent streak. If you are looking for a dog that you can control, then this dog is not for you. Unlike other hypoallergenic dogs, they are not very good with commands and can sometimes totally disregard their owner. But with their beautiful brown coat, they are a joy to have.

The Basenji is another hunting dog that has its origins in Africa. This dog will hardly bark but can just yelp once or twice.
