When it comes to the sport of hunting – the gun dog is definitely a hunter’s best friend. Pointer gun dogs have been used to assist man since the days when survival crucially depended on hunting skills, not only for food to eat, but for clothing and shelter provided by the hides of the hunted animals and to this day bird dogs still play an important role in hunting for sport.

Pointer gun dogs can withstand cold weather even the extreme ones as their coat is waterproof as their undercoat is well protected by the stiff guard hairs. Their color varies but is generally of dark brown (liver), or black, or a combination of black and liver color along with some white. This combination of colors helps to camouflage the dog.

This type of dog are used where game is distributed over a wide area, for example on moors. They operate quite a distance away from their handlers and upon locating the
game birds will wait for the hunter to get close enough to shoot. In order to let the hunter know they have located the game, and without actually causing any disturbance which
may alert the game, the dog will remain still and rigid, in effect pointing in the direction of the game.

When the hunter arrives on the scene, he will command the dog to flush the game, thus presenting his sporting target. Once shot, the dog will be expected to retrieve the game and deliver it to the hunter. English and Irish setters and English Pointers are the main breeds in this category

They are very good natured, docile, and pleasant pets and seek lots of attention as well as affection. However, the Pointer gun dogs require proper training and lots of exercise or else they tend to be over active, unruly and willful too. If in case they do not get their desired exercise level, they are bound to try to get it on their own and can create destruction and havoc in doing so.

If you are planning on owning  Pointer gun dogs  prepared to encourage him or her with plenty of daily activities and you will be rewarded with a loyal and trustworthy companion.
