About The Breed

The English Pointer is a medium-to-large, elegant, and athletic breed known for its remarkable hunting abilities, particularly in pointing and retrieving game. With a sleek, muscular build and short coat, the English Pointer is one of the most recognized and respected bird dogs, often seen in field trials and hunting competitions. This breed is highly energetic, intelligent, and eager to work, making it an excellent choice for active owners who enjoy outdoor activities like hunting, running, or hiking. Pointers are known for their keen sense of smell and precision in the field, as they "point" to locate birds, standing still with an intense, frozen stance. English Pointers are friendly, affectionate, and good with families, but they require regular exercise and mental stimulation to stay happy and healthy. Due to their high energy, they are best suited for owners with an active lifestyle or those who can provide ample exercise and tasks to keep them engaged.
