No name stands out for German Shorthaired Pointers: their names follow the same pattern as dogs in general.
Only four US registers publish each dog's name and breed together. 47% of these German Shorthaired Pointers are licensed in New York City, so the list leans towards New York tastes. Many owners never license their dog, so this is a large sample of licensed dogs, not a census.
