What the German Shorthaired Pointer pricing tells you
The German Shorthaired Pointer (45-70 lb) is priced as a large dog; bath, dry, and finish time all scale with that body mass.
Groomers also price the short coat on this breed, monthly appointments stack into a larger annual budget than the per-visit quote suggests.
Temperament (Friendly, smart, willing to please) and lifespan (12-14 years) shape the real lifetime bill, a cooperative dog finishes faster; a nervous one may need more hands or a longer slot.
