Will A Canadian Pointer Make A Good Companion Dog
The Canadian Pointer is described as a medium sized dog with a powerfully built body that is covered with a 1 ½ inch coarse coat. Bred and developed in United States, the Canadian Pointer belongs to the HPR group (hunting, pointing and retrieving. English Pointers, Portuguese Pointers and Labrador Retrievers were crossed during the later part of the 1800s and resulted to the development of a breed of gundogs used to hunt rabbits, foxes and other small upland animals.
A Canadian Pointer measures about 30 inches at the withers and has a weight that range from 48 to 60 pounds. Closely resembling its progenitor in appearance, the Canadian Pointer which is also known as the Adirondak Pointing Dog is often mistaken for an English Pointer. People that have owned both breeds would know that the Canadian Pointer has shorter ears and a thicker coat. The thick coats of Canadian Pointers allows these dogs to hunt in the very cold temperatures of the mountains. The thick coat comes in three color combinations - light brown and white, black and white and dark brown and white.
Although the Canadian Pointer was specifically developed to be a hunter, this dog breed does not have the agility of other HPR breeds. This is due to the fact that a Canadian Pointer's front and hind quarters give this breed a narrower stance. Owners of Canadian Pointers can expect to have the pet for about 15 years as this is a fairly healthy breed.
Unlike other hunting breeds, a Canadian Pointer has an even temperament. Due to this breeds eagerness to please personality, Canadian Pointers are usually hunted on weekends and on weekdays, these dogs make ideal family companions. People that have opted to have this breed as a home companion would encounter no difficulties in training the pet as Canadian Pointers, apart from being intelligent also have an obedient nature. Aside from the ease of housebreaking, this dog easily learns tricks as well. A Canadian Pointer has low grooming requirements thus it would be an ideal choice for dog owners that do not have too much time to groom the pet.
Being a hunter, a Canadian Pointer has a keen sense of smell. This breed can be a dependable guard dog as it has a well developed instinct to protect the family. The dog may appear indolent and calm but once danger to the family is perceived, the dog will be alert instantly. This dog is accustomed to outdoor life but it can easily adapt to the placid life of a home companion especially in a family with children. This even tempered dog makes a good family pet as it can be the gentle and tolerant playmate of the kids.
