Pointing dogs

 

 are a type of dog often employed in games. Sometimes they are called bird dogs. Traditionally, gundogs are classified into three classes: retrievers, flushing dogs and races pointing. The word point is derived from the impulse of the dog by halting his muzzle and aiming at prey. This shows the hunter the site of his canal and lets him maneuver inside the range of his weapons. The dogs that had plentiful points and support instincts preferentially bred their canines. Typically at around 2 months they begin to develop their hunting instincts. 

history

Dogs may have sprung from the Old Spanish Pointer from Spain, in particular (Furgus, 2002). Originally, hunters who caught the game employed pointing dogs. The dog freezes or stops (as in Setter) and allows the jack to toss the net before it snapps. On the other side, flushing dogs have long been utilized by falconers to flush raptors' games. Most European continental point breeds are classed as versatile gun races or HPR races (for hunt, point, and retrieve). It's because flexible races have been designed to discover and mark games like all points races,But other chasing duties have also been bred. This distinction was probably made, as in continental Europe the same dog has been training to execute each of these duties, but the British have created breeds which are specialized in jobs such as pointsing, flushing and recovery (albeit less effectively). The North American Polyvalent Hunting Dog Association defines versatility as "the dog who's bred and taught to hunt games and to follow both land and water and injured wildlife." In German Shorthair Pointers, for example, birds are commonly recovered, i.e. duck hunting, while an indication is used.
