🦮 Large · United Kingdom (England)
An elegant British pointing dog with a silky, feathered coat, a gentle and sociable temperament, and a fine nose that needs a great deal of daily exercise and activity.
Friendly, gentle, and sociable, with little territorial instinct. A pronounced hunting drive paired with an exceptionally fine nose.
Very high exercise needs with long daily activity. Field work or dog sports suit the breed's nature well.
The silky, long coat, feathered on ears, legs, and tail, needs brushing several times a week to prevent matting, plus occasional trimming.
The friendly temperament makes handling easier, but the very high activity requirement means the breed only suits active owners with plenty of time.
Gastric torsion and hip dysplasia occur, and some lines also show deafness and hypothyroidism.
