The English Pointer tracks down the game and “points” – it signals the hunter with this typical pointing dog posture. “Here is the booty”. You can see this posture very well in the video below. His hunting skills are already visible at a young age, and he follows the tracks with great perseverance. There is something noble about the pointer, its gait is supple.
Nature & Temperament
Hunting is his passion. His nature is pleasant and he is a very good companion dog. If he is mentally busy and physically challenged, he behaves pleasantly quiet in the house.
In the hands of a hunter, it develops its full potential. Inexperienced dog owners should refrain from buying a pointer puppy. The sensitive hunting dog needs sensitive and consistent training.
