| Pointer
 The
Pointer was bred for one purpose: to find birds. This sleek,
muscular, noble and beautiful breed first appeared in England in
1650 and has a long and glorious history as an excellent companion
in the field. As with other pointing breeds, the Pointer is highly
intelligent and can demonstrate its hunting instincts at the age of 2
months. The Pointer is a friendly
housedog and makes a great family companion. In addition, the
Pointer is considered to be the "Cadillac" of bird dogs. With its
one-track mind in the field, the Pointer tends to move fast and
cover as much ground as possible to find birds, stand steady to wing
and shot and exercise its natural retrieving instincts to deliver
game to hand. When someone speaks of bird dogs this is the
breed that most frequently springs to mind. The sleek
appearance of the Pointer is due to its short, dense coat. Colors
include liver, lemon, black, and orange; either in combination
with white or solid-colored.
