The Pointer is a gun dog breed first developed in England. The breed is often used to find upland game, and they act as hunter’s aids. They are even-tempered and congenial, so they also make good house pets as long as they get sufficient exercise. However, they are not a good watch dog breed. Physically, they have a short, dense coat that is smooth with a sheen. Color variations include liver, lemon, orange, or black, and most Pointers are primarily white with some body markings. Lemon and white dogs have flesh-colored noses, and Pointers with orange, liver, and black markings have darker noses.
Pointers have a withers height between 23”-28" (58-71 cm) and a typical weight in the range of 35-75 lb (16-34 kg). The Pointer has an overall body length of roughly 34”-41” (86-104 cm), standing height between 29”-35” (74-89 cm), and a typical lifespan of 12-16 years.
