Pointer

        This dog is probably the beginner of the Pointer family, being bred for the specific purpose of pointing hares for the Greyhounds to chase.  They have a short, shiny coat, and since they aren’t one of the chase or intimidate breeds, they don’t need to be giant nor heavy.  The male weighs 25-27 inches tall, and the female is 24-26 inches tall.  The male is 65 pounds, and the female is 57 ½ pounds.  He only requires the least grooming, needs some exercise but not  lot, t needs quite a lot of food.  His coat is usually colored white, lemon or orange with liver or black.  These athletic dogs are gentle and easily biddable, and would make a great house pet for athletic to-be dog owners!
