Summary
About Pointer
The Pointer is an athletic, elegant gundog known for its distinctive pointing stance and strong scenting skills. Affectionate, sensitive, and people focused, it needs 1–2 hours of daily exercise and mental work. Its short, smooth coat is low maintenance, suiting active, outdoorsy owners.
About Bullmastiff
Large, powerful guardian originally bred to catch poachers, the Bullmastiff is calm, confident and deeply loyal, often bonding closely with one person. It has a short, low‑maintenance coat, needs space, consistent early training and socialisation to guide its natural protectiveness.
