The Pointer is bred primarily
for sport and is a true wide-range hunter. They give the impression of compact
power and agile grace. Their movement should show them to be a wide-awake, hard-driving
hunting dog possessing stamina, courage and the desire to go. English Pointers
are lean, hardy dogs that live for the hunt. They are large, muscular and square-shaped.
The muzzle is long and they have drop triangular ears. They retain an easy-to-care-for
coat that is glossy, short and smooth. The Pointer's energy and devotion makes
them superior as gundogs. They are a good show dog, friendly and obedient. The
English Pointer is giving and kind, but rather serious in personality. They
are good with children and other dogs, but does much better in a country setting
than in the city. English Pointers do no take to water easily, and are quite
susceptible to cold conditions. He does, however, do better than most breeds
in the heat. He has great endurance and strength, able and eager to hunt for
anything. Although they love hunting, they are not for retrieving. The name
"Pointer" literally comes from the fact that they do not retrieve when they
see game, they stop in their tracks and "point".
