Pointer
History and origin: The Pointer was first developed in northern Europe and Spain in the 16th century. This breed came into his own with the purpose of firearms for bird hunting, someplace around the 18th century. The Pointer is an outstanding hunter. He is famed for his typical pose of “pointing” with his nose and tail in the route of the game that has been shot. Even young pointer pups will point when they sense a prey, a talent that is natural rather than learned.
Description: Pointers stand roughly 24 to 28 inches at the shoulder and weigh between 50 and 70 pounds. They are extremely high energy dogs, with a lean, strong build and a low-maintenance short, shedding coat that wants brushing on a regular basis. Because of this short coat, they do not do well when left outside in freezing climates. The color may be white with liver patches, solid black, or solid liver.
About the breed: This is an obedient, sociable, high-strung breed who is easily trained, an outstanding gundog, a victorious showdog, and a famous house pet. Pointers are bred to have great stamina and to focus on their task with the willpower of a scent hound. When they pick up a smell, they will totally ignore everything else, including you. Forget about getting them to come to you until they have finished their mission. They are not very bright, but they are determined. Because of their power and their slim, well-built build, Pointers can make great jogging partners. They are frequently friendly with strangers and reliable with kids, even though in their enthusiasm to play they can knock small children down. They also get along pretty well with other dogs.
