Pointer and Pointer pictures
The Pointer is affectionate, intelligent and clean; it is wise and
adaptable to every situation. It is an energetic and enthusiastic
hunter, yet calm at home. It makes a good companion to children;
it is patient, tolerant, kind, playful and loving. Socialization
at an early age is a must; obedience training is strongly recommended.
It tends to be a bit willful, distractible and reserved with strangers;
it will bark at suspicious noises. Hunting instincts develop early;
puppies even at eight weeks old often display pointing behavior.
This dog is independent; it is generally good with other pets and
is not usually dog aggressive. This breed has excellent endurance
in warm weather, but is not suited to very cold conditions; working
best on land it is not very comfortable in water. The Pointer has
legendary tracking and pointing skills, but is not usually expected
to retrieve game. A competitive dog, the Pointer still dominates
Pointing Field Trials over all other pointing breeds. Today, the
Pointer is a family hunting dog and companion. This dog is tireless
an energetic, it needs plenty of vigorous exercise. If under exercised,
the Pointer can become restless and destructive.
