Deutsche Bracke Activity Requirements
Deutsche Bracke, also called German Longhaired Pointers, are hunting dogs that are known for their intelligence, loyalty, and stamina. They require regular exercise in order to remain healthy and happy. Deutsche Brackes will prefer to be active and outside rather than lounging around. They will need at least one hour of exercise and regular walks. In addition to walking, they will enjoy running, hiking, and playing. They can easily clear fences, so they will need a secure outdoor enclosure. Those considering a Deutsche Bracke should keep in mind that they do well in warm climates. If you don’t have access to a fenced yard or can’t spend a lot of time outdoors, this may not be the right dog for you.
