AKC Events • Club Events • Hunt Tests • Field Trials • Camaraderie •  New Friends •  Good Sport!

Established in 1959

The German Shorthaired Pointer Club of Idaho (GSPCI) is dedicated to the betterment of this sporting breed and the  preservation of its natural abilities and standards.  The GSPCI promotes ethical breeding and responsible ownership and training, through  education, competitive events and the sport of upland game bird hunting.  Camaraderie, safety and sportsmanlike behavior exemplify the  membership of the GSPCI.

The club welcomes all recognized pointing breeds, provides opportunities for owners to enhance their skills, facilitates training during summer months, and conducts club and AKC/AF events throughout the year.

I joined the club when I moved to the area last fall and it was the best investment I made since coming to Boise. All the volunteers and members, both new and old, were extremely friendly and helpful. This is a club with heart and great knowledgeable trainers, dog owners, and members who really care for the dogs and each other. And all breeds are welcome!   – Greg

Why Join the GSPC Of Idaho

Many people join our club for many different reasons. Some come because they have a new pup and want to learn how to train and handle a pointer. Most though stay because of the wonderful members and friendships that are established with our common interest.

The GSPCI also has so many different things going on.  We have offer summer training seminars, have monthly meetings from September through May, invite guest speakers, host hunt test and field trials, and have wonderful club events such as the summer picnic with sporting clay shooting and a water retrieve.
