    How To Find a Dog With a Good Temperament

    Picking a dog can be both exciting and perplexing. But the one thing we all want to know is how our new dog's personality will reveal itself.

    Knowing why a breed was created, and the country and climate it initially came from, can help you understand what to expect in terms of behaviour and temperament.

    Some breeds require much more attention than others. A breed's true temperament can also take time to develop: the boxer's extrovert and playful nature means it takes longer to mature than other breeds.

    The puppies of certain breeds can be very hard work in the early weeks but can make fabulous adult dogs.

    There are seven types of dogs:
    • Gun dog
    • Toy dog
    • Utility Dog
    • Hound dog
    • Terrier
    • Working dog
    • Pastoral


Portuguese Pointer Temperament Personality

Portuguese Pointer Information

The Portuguese Pointer is a medium-sized, well-balanced dog with a distinctive “square” face, drop ears, and a tail that is carried pendant when the dog is standing and level with the back or slightly above when the dog is moving. The body of the Portuguese Pointer is almost square. The Portuguese Pointer should be evaluated as a working gun dog and exaggerations or faults should be penalized in proportion to how much they interfere with the dog’s ability to work.

The Portuguese Pointer has strong hunting instincts. In the field, the Portuguese Pointer is a tenacious hunter in all sorts of terrain and climate. The dog’s affectionate nature is so intense that the Portuguese standard describes it as “…occasionally even embarrassing”. This devotion, however, makes the Portuguese a joy in the field because no dog delights more in sharing the hunt with its master.
