CHAPTER I
=The Pointer=
Most authorities are in agreement that the English Pointer has been
derived from a cross of the old Spanish Pointer and Southern Hound, or
with the former and a Foxhound.
The old Spanish Pointer was a heavy, loose-made dog, had a large head,
short and smooth coat, thin, loose ears and a thin tail.
In colour he was generally black, black and white, liver and white, red
and white, dark brown, liver, etc. The breed, it is said, was first
introduced into this country by a Portuguese merchant, living and
shooting in Norfolk.
According to accounts, the Spanish Pointers had a remarkable degree of
scenting power, never missing their game.
In Germany there are two varieties of Pointers--the Rough-and the
Smooth-coated. Like the old Spanish Pointer, these dogs are slow, but
sure workers: they are heavily built, and frequently liver, or liver
and white.
