Pointer - Purebred
Dogs and Puppies

Pointer


Description

A member of the Sporting group, The Pointer is bred primarily for

sport afield; he should unmistakably look and act the part.

Here is an animal whose every movement shows him to be a wide-awake, hard-driving hunting dog possessing stamina, courage, and the desire to go-go-go.

In his expression are the loyalty and devotion of a true friend and companion of man - they are agile and athletic. They are gentle with children, which makes them a wonderful family dog.

Because they require a lot of exercise, it is not a breed recommended for a small city apartment. The coat is easy to take care of; just a couple of minutes of grooming a day will give it a healthy shine.

Their even temperament and alert good sense make him a congenial companion both in the field and in the home. He should be dignified and should never show timidity toward man or dog.

They were the first dog used to stand game. They seem to acquire the hunting instinct at around 2 months of age. Males are usually 55-75 pounds and 25-28 inches tall, females a bit smaller.

Country of origin: England
Lifespan: 12-15 years
Colors: Liver, lemon, black and orange, solid or in combination with white
Known health problems: Hip dysplasia, thyroid problems, entropion, skin cysts, epilepsy, dwarfism, cataracts, deafness
