 English PointerAn English Pointer, often called simply a Pointer, is a breed of dog developed as a gun dog. It is one of several pointer breeds. AppearanceThe standard colorings of an English Pointer are liver and white, lemon and white, or black and white. These can be solid colors, speckles, or patches. Black and white pointers are sometimes confused with Dalmatians. Dalmatians have a great number of small spots, whereas Pointers have a few large spots. HealthThe average lifespan of a Pointer is 12 to 17 years. HistoryFour breeds went into the development of the Pointer: the Foxhound, Bloodhound, Greyhound, and English Bull Terrier. MiscellaneousWhen Pointers work with hunters, they are often used in combination with a retriever, to point out the prey to the retriever, using the pointer stance.
