The English Pointer
Information on the English Pointer
The English Pointer is an extremely athletic and graceful upland bird dog. The dog should be a compact, hard-driving hunting dog with what appears to be endless grace and energy. They are even tempered and very happy living indoors as part of the family. The English Pointer is a very affectionate and loyal dog and they have a very low aggression level.
English Pointers do require a certain amount of exercise due to high energy levels. They are a very talented upland bird dog with beautiful rock-hard points. However, retrieving is not their strong point nor is water. With the short coat they are very low maintenance, but susceptible to cold weather.
Additional breed information for the English Pointer can be found at the American Kennel Club Website.
