The Spanish Pointer





The Spanish Pointer originated in Spain in the 1600s. The ancestry of this dog is not certain, but it undoubtedly belongs to an old breed, possibly related to the ancient Sabueso Hound.

This breed of pointer has a massive head in relation to a rather slender, well muscled body. Its coat is short and finely textured, being exclusively liver and white in coloration often with prominent ticking.

The earlier form of this dog hunted deer, the quarry of today's breed is more likely to be partridge.

The Spanish Pointer should be between 26-30 inches and weigh 55-66 pounds. Another name for the breed is the Perdiguero De Burgos.
