About the Pointer

The Pointer, often called the English Pointer, is a premier bird-hunting gundog breed developed in England to locate and "point" upland game birds for the hunter. Renowned for its remarkable scenting ability, athleticism, and instinctive "freezing" stance upon finding game, it is an energetic, even-tempered, and affectionate breed that thrives on vigorous exercise and a close working relationship with its handler. Its friendly and loyal nature makes it a good family companion for active homes.
