POINTER

Hey guys! Welcome to my blog on learning an animal everyday which i will upload different kind of animal breeds so that you all are able to get to know animals well and today as our special guest is this very adorable and sporting dog but with a weird name is our one and only ''POINTER".So if you are wondering why its kind is named by pointer then u will get the answer soon.Well pointer is employed to find upland game. In performing its task as a hunters' aid, these skills may be expected from Pointers when hunting:

• Point – The dog finds and points out the location of birds.
• Honor – The dog stops immediately or within a few steps, usually in a pointing stance, upon observing a bracemate on point.
• Retrieve – Pointers are not expected to be natural retrievers, but are often trained and expected to find dead or wounded game.

                                         And ya this is why it is named ''Pointer.''

Coat and color[edit]

The coat of a Pointer is short, dense, smooth with a sheen.They are generally white with either liver, lemon, orange or black markings. Although pointers may have solid coloring in any of these hues, most pointers are primarily white with some body markings.

Lemon and white dogs have flesh-colored noses, while Pointers with orange, liver or black markings have dark (black or very dark brown) nose pigmentation.

Size

Most countries' breed standards prefer symmetry and balance to perfect size, and most will allow an amount of variation if a dog's size does not encumber it in the field. The approximate measurements in the United States, from the Pointer standard, are as follows:

	Height		Weight
Males	60–70 cm	25–28 in	25–34 kg	55–75 lb
Females	58–66 cm	23–26 in	20–30 kg	45–65 lb

Pointer has a medium lifespan which is about 12.4 years and this is known in the result of the UK Kennel Club survey. Pointer is also well known with its  intelligent, affectionate, clean and intensely loyal.They are very good with children and fit in well with family life generally.

      Life is never going to be perfect with the peace and harmony among human and animals just like in this picture.
