Breed Information
A pointing breed is a type of gun dog. They were bred to hunt and for endurance and to carry energy all day. While they make wonderful companions for families, they can be prey driven with cats and other animals. This is in their DNA.
They are a high energy breed and benefit with regular exercise. Without proper interaction and training, they can become bored easily and develop destructive behavior to keep themselves entertained. They are an incredibly smart and social breed. They love to be with their humans. They are loyal, pleasing, obedient, and learn very quickly.
Most range anywhere from 40 to 85 lbs. They generally do well with other dogs and children. They are wonderful dog park candidates as they are a social breed and love to run. Their coats are easy maintenance and still require brushing to remove loose hair. They do shed.
All of the dogs in our program will have very different personalities and according to age ranges, the energy levels will vary. If you are interested in a pointer, please be sure to discuss all behavior and needs with the foster parent. We always encourage obedience training classes as this is a good way to bond with your new companion and address any training issues that may be needed.
