Are German Shorthaired Pointers high energy?

Yes, German Shorthaired Pointers are high-energy dogs. They need lots of exercise, which can include vigorous activities like running, swimming, hiking, and agility training. 

They have a strong prey drive and need pet parents with active lifestyles to guide their energy into positive outlets. GSPs are bred to please their people and hunt, so they don’t like to sit around all day. They need at least a six-foot fence if they’re outdoors unsupervised — they’ll try to escape their enclosure when they get bored.
