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 Norwich Terrier
Norwich Terriers are small, sturdy, confident terriers with prick ears, a foxy, alert expression and a harsh, weather‑resistant coat. Bred as farm ratters, they remain lively, curious hunters, need regular exercise, mental stimulation and moderate grooming, and are generally long lived.
