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 German Spaniel (Wachtelhund)
Medium, robust German hunting spaniel built for dense cover, with a thick, weather‑resistant coat in brown or brown-white. Very loyal, often one-person focused yet family friendly. Highly energetic, driven working gundog that needs intensive exercise and meaningful tasks; still uncommon outside Germany.
