The English Pointer known as a “Cadillac” of bird dogs
&
"King of the hunt",
is the most popular bird dog in the world and the standard by which all other gundogs are measured. A specialist in upland birds, the big muscular Pointer can cover more ground, find more birds, and point more dramatically than any other hunting breed.

Such careful records have been kept that the pedigree of many Pointers can be traced in an unbroken line back to 1650.

This distinctive breed has been for a long time very appreciated only among hunters. Their style, speed, stamina, perfect nose, impressive moment of “pointing” at the smallest bird that burrows in the dense grass, his beauty and nobility in conformation are the attributes that a lot of hunters and breed enthusiasts apprise .

A concave muzzle, called a "dish" face
is a highly desirable Pointer characteristic.

 Most Pointer breeders and owners will tell you that Pointers do not like to consider themselves dogs, but rather one of the family. From the hard working field dog to the pampered show dog, all Pointers enjoy being part of the family as well as enjoying all of the comforts home life has to offer. They are good with children and love to play with them all day long. Sometimes they are comedians that make you laugh. Don’t underestimate their intelligence – it’s very high!

Currently, the Pointer is increasingly highly appreciated
as a perfect family companion and best companion for sportive people as well!

Pointers are best companions, but it should be remembered that,
to them, birds are much more interesting than people.
 

Because a Pointer is fun-loving and mischievous by nature, from puppyhood on, a sense of what is right and wrong must be instilled in your Pointer.
Bad habits can be avoided from the very beginning by proper supervision and ongoing training.

If a Pointer is to be a house pet, it is highly recommended that it be given some sort of obedience training. It is wise to enroll a six-month old puppy in a local obedience class. Not only will the puppy learn to mind its manners, but it will learn proper socialization as well. This training will help to develop your Pointer's manners for the enjoyable years ahead as a true
"member of the family" dog.
