An English Pointer gundog at the Manchester Dog Show (held in Stafford)


The pointer is a medium-size sporting dog breed from England with a short, smooth coat that can come in a variety of colors and patterns. The pointer’s shape is instantly recognizable; both its long head and slender tail help do their job of pointing toward game for the hunter. A pointer will stand tall and still with one foot off the ground, tail extended, and nose upturned to point the hunter in the right direction. While they were bred to be dependable hunting dogs, pointers also have become active, affectionate, playful, and sometimes mischievous companions at home.
