Pointer Personality

    Hoping to bring a pet dog into your home? Some dog breeds are easier to own than others, particularly for beginner dog parents.

    To identify the easiest dog breeds to own, we had a look at a variety of important qualities. And you might be surprised by the characteristics that matter most. For example, you might think you want an intelligent dog. But highly smart dogs aren't always the easiest to train, because trainability is more about a dog's desire to follow instructions than his potential to understand them.

    You might think an active dog will be the easiest to keep healthy. A dog with a lower energy level and no genetic predisposition to disease will really be easier to deal with. Additionally, choosing a dog with an easygoing temperament - and minimal grooming needs - will go a long way toward keeping you sane.

    Top 5 Easiest Dog's To Own

    1. Beagle - The beagle is one of the top 10 most popular breeds for good reason: He has a bigger-than-life character and a merry nature that make him a warm and joyful friend.

    2. Border Terrier - The border terrier is very "happy," "plucky," and "tender." This dog has a medium energy level but a more laid-back personality than many other terriers.

    3. Bulldog - If you want a patient and mellow pet dog, you can't make a mistake with the bulldog. You can efficiently train your bulldog - particularly if you use lots of praise and incentives and keep a sense of humor.

    4. Cavalier King Charles Spaniel - They can be faithful hiking partners or shameless couch potatoes, relying on the owner's personality - as long as they get a satisfying walk each day.

    5. Basset Hound - These medium-sized dogs aren't very energetic. And while most dog owners won't put the basset hound's hunting prowess to the test, they'll enjoy the breed's sheer patience with children.

Pointer Information

The pointer combines athletic grace and power with a lean, muscular body, noble head, alert expression and noble carriage. The gait is smooth and powerful, with head held high and nostrils wide, enabling it to cover a lot of ground while searching for airborne scent. The tail lashes from side to side when the dog gaits. The pointer's close coat is short and dense, giving a clean streamlined appearance. field type pointers tend to hold their tails upright when on point.

The pointer is a true wide-ranging hunter, which means that it not only is an excellent bird dog but also has the stamina to run for hours. Consequently, it needs lots of exercise or it can become frustrated and destructive. Because it is ever on the lookout for birds, it is easily distracted from everyday matters — but it is nearly impossible to distract once on point. It is gentle and sweet but may be too energetic and boisterous at times for very small children. Like many sporting breeds, it can be found in field or show types; the field type is generally smaller and perhaps more active.
