Pointer

It is widely believed that the Pointer’s ancestors origins may be traced back to Spain centuries ago, however it was selectively bred in Britain and referred to as an English Pointer. To create this breed, a number of varieties were likely employed such as Spanish Pointing Dog, Foxhound, Greyhound, Bloodhound and additional setter breeds–maybe even incorporating a Bulldog.

The Pointer is one of the oldest Sporting breeds, utilized as far back as the 17th century to point hares and birds for shooting.
