All Dog Breeds >>Appearance of Pointer
The Pointer should be athletic and graceful. The immediate impression should be of a compact, hard-driving hunting dog, alert and "ready to let go." The primary distinguishing features of this breed are the head, feet, and tail. Hound or terrier characteristics are undesirable for show purposes. Grooming English Pointers is not time-consuming. Their coat is very short and needs only a quick rub with a soft brush to minimise shedding.
Pointer Training
The Pointer is moderately easy to train. He learns new commands at the average rate. He is neither difficult nor easy to train.
Pointer Shedding
The Pointer sheds a fair amount of hair. You'll find hair stuck to your couch, carpets, clothes and everything else in your home.
Pointer Grooming
The short coat of the Pointer only requires an occasional brushing. But because he sheds you may find yourself brushing him once or twice a week to remove loose hair. (What you get out with a brush doesn't fall out in your home!)
