English Pointer dog hunting in the forest

English Pointer dog is one of the best hunting dog, English Pointer dog is a strong and muscular dog, English Pointer dog is very famous breed, English Pointer dog moves with a powerful hind thrus.

Pointer honestly earned his name [to point (English) - specify]. To our knowledge, this was the first dog, has made a stand over the game in the modern sense. Pointer as a breed has appeared much earlier than the setters. First thought that the first Pointers came to England from Spain and Portugal, but now it seems doubtful. Much more likely that the Pointers were used in Spain, Portugal and throughout Eastern Europe and the British Isles at about the same time. You can not say definitely whether the Pointers are descended from a common or from different ancestors, who had his habitat. It is known that the breed English Pointer was developed within the UK, probably in England. Later here were brought to Spanish Pointing Dogs, but from the very beginning they were considered different breeds of dogs.
The first pointer, of whom there are credible reports have appeared in England around 1650, several years before the era of hunting with firearms. Interesting way in which they were then used. In those days, was a popular hunting with Greyhound, and the first evidence of the use Pointer say that their findings in the field to ensure that they have found and made a rack over a rabbit. When the pointer showed a prey, the findings and lowered greyhounds, and began hunting. However, at the beginning of the XVIII century, at least to 1711, was coming into fashion the hunt for a bird, raised on the wing, and has since considered a full pointer, if not better Retriever.
With regard to ancestors pointer, then there is little we know about them, one thing is certain: it is the blood of Foxhound, Greyhound, and Bloodhound. Representatives of these breeds, obviously, crossed with “fixing spaniel – setter, who played a major role in the creation of modern breeds of Retriever, used for hunting birds.
In the early years of the XVIII century in England came the Spanish Pointer. Initially it was used for breeding, but because it was too heavy and not so quick to work as English, French and German Pointers, he not only ceased to include in subsequent matings, but also tried to correct the deficiencies, which he introduced to the breed. Note that the contribution of Spanish pointer was not so much in improving the breed type, as in the formulation and consolidation of instinct rack, which had been unusually strong.
And if that is what was the purpose of crossing the Spanish Pointer, it was a success. In British newspapers hunting beginning of the XIX century, one can find many entertaining stories – rather unlikely – tells about the miracles performed by English Pointer last century. For example, dogs, Colonel Thornton – Pluto and Juno – allegedly kept a rack over a brood of partridges for an hour and a quarter, and pinpoint the time on the clock. And as long as even a reliable authority as Stonehenge, called Terrestrial true all well-known stories about how one day a hunter was lost in a swamp and as a pointer, returning to the place a year later, he discovered the skeleton of a dog with a skeleton bird, and stories decent people doviktorianskoy era must be taken with sufficient skepticism

During the XIX century English Pointer constantly crossed with different setters to the extent that the latter appeared in the British Isles and were in vogue. Perhaps this is the reason that the breed has improved the character, because at one time one of the writers, describing the pointer, said: “I like them a fierce, is not amenable to correction or education, unless you take your puppy very young.” Today pointer can be attributed to anything, but not the ferocity. And perhaps it is this, combined with careful selection in the cross and independent character, has resulted in a balanced and obedient, best hunting dog. He definitely has a great passion than others Retriever, quality is especially useful when participating in trade shows and field trials.
Modern Pointer – a specialized dog, talking about it and its appearance. Proportioned, flexible, muscular, but not rude, it is full of energy and excitement of hunting. Quick, tough and daring, with an innate ability to concentrate at work, Pointer – an ideal dog for those who aspire to effective hunting. At home, he is clean and tidy thanks to my short hair, in the nursery is easy to get along with other dogs. Requires less attention than other breeds Retriever, and with diligence work in the field, not only with the owner.
In addition to all have a pointer, there is another feature – the trend toward earlier development. Instinct awakens in him at an early age. Often puppies are two months are already able to make a point, and because of this breed organized field trials for puppies and young animals.
At exhibitions, thanks to its short coat his silhouette, composition and format is easy to determine at a glance, to the same pointer consummate poseur. Its color is usually white with a thick liver Crapo, immediately attracts attention, but his temperament is perfectly suited for exhibitions. Another possible color – lemon-white, orange and white, black and white and sometimes pure black.
Poynter extremely lucky in one very important respect: the rock taken out, carefully watching as for its type, and for working qualities, so today there are no contradictions between them. From the beginning, the breed has been bred with careful preservation of the working abilities. On one of the illustrations in the book, Colonel Thornton’s “Journey to Scotland” depicts falconry captain Fleming.

German Wirehaired pointer male dog in hunt position

German Wirehaired pointer dog is great hunter, German Wirehaired pointer dog is fast and strong dog, German Wirehaired pointer dog is a faithful dog and loves human companion.

Hunt called the very first exercise in the history of mankind, but it is not just a sport. In ancient times, when the ax, club and spear were the only weapons which man procured food for himself and his family, hunting was a way of life. In those days people used the traps and pitfalls, hawks and falcons, nets and snares, bows and arrows. Later, the princes, to know and large landowners began to hunt not only for the sake of production, but rather for fun, but the common people, this privilege is not extended.
Nevertheless, in the middle of the XIX century, a series of political upheavals, along with the improvement of firearms and ammunition appearance spurred interest in hunting to such an extent that it includes everything, regardless of class. And when it became a popular hunting lifted on its wings, the number of hunters over udvoylos. It took more than dogs, and they started to breed. Slowly but surely, rock hounds began to specialize. Some dogs have worked in the woods and fields, looking for the hunter’s prey, while others learned how to hold the prey in the land and water, and over time, each breed has acquired a special skill and dexterity of its kind activity.
European hunters it was hard to please because they needed a versatile Retriever, and not specialized in one or another form of hunting. Thus arose the rocks pointer that podnosili wounded prey. One of them originated in Germany – it’s Deutsch-Drahthaar, which literally translated means “German haired.”
To understand the origin of this breed, you need to remember that outside Germany there were many rocks podnosyaschih Pointer (retrievers), whose lines were crossed to a greater or lesser degree. In the first years of its existence the German club drathaarov included all wire-haired pointer breeds. Later it was divided into four subgroups, dealing with breed improvement drathaara, poodle-pointer, shtihelhaara (German coarse setter) and a griffin

German Wirehaired pointer dog has very thick undercoat, German Wirehaired pointer dog is an intelligent, energetic dog and a bold, tenacious hunter.

Most of the wire-haired pointer carried the blood of a griffin, shtihelhaara, poodle, and German short-haired pointer setter. Poodle Pointer is descended from a cross between a poodle males and females English pointer, but the creation of rocks and Griffin shtihelhaara participated Pointer, Foxhound, poodle-pointer and Polish water dog. Thus, it is easy to present such versatile capabilities that were inherited from their ancestors wire-haired Pointers century ago.
Germans – fine breeders and trainers – many require their hunting dogs. They had no patience for removing specialized breeds, they preferred the strong and sturdy dog ??that can work with any game on any terrain. That is what they have achieved in the Wire breed German pointer, which united the characteristics of a pointer, Foxhound and a poodle. The Germans have created a universal dog, approaching in quality to the ideal to which they aspired. She did stand over the game and brings prey on land and water, had a keen intuition, a strong constitution, courage, and wool, allowing work on any terrain.
Throughout the development of this breed special attention was paid to coat. In a statement the club members drathaarov from 1902 stated: “The most important breeding dogs is wire-haired.” To do this, there are good reasons, because drathaar as universal dog had to work in any weather, forced his way through the thickets and bushes, in which the other dogs with less harsh hair would have to be evil.
His all-weather coat in the truest sense of the word and pretty much waterproof. Direct, long – two and a half to four inches, rough, bristly, it fits snugly to the body and protects the dog, but does not hide its forms.
Thick hair on the eyebrows protect the eye from damage and short beard and mustache, do not give a thorn bush branches scratching its head. Very thick undercoat in the winter is a good protection from the cold, but summer fades to such an extent that it becomes almost imperceptible.
Although Germany has long been drathaar favorite hunting dog, he was not admitted to the German Cartel breeders until 1928. Representatives of this breed began to import into the United States in the 20 years of this century. In 1953, organized by the American German Club drathaara. In 1959 the name of the breed was recorded in the AKC Stud Book as a German wire-haired pointer, and the club’s name changed to the German American Club the Wire pointer

Golden Retriever dog is a great family dog, Golden Retriever dog smart and intelligent dog, Golden Retriever dog is strong and active dog.

At the beginning of the XIX century in England and Scotland game in abundance vodilas, and hunting was the sport, a way to produce food. Retrievers won fame because there was a need for a medium-size dog to hunt upland and waterfowl.
The most complete evidence of the formation of the breed golden retriever found in Jaeger books that were s1835po! 890 per year in the name of the Lord Tvidmauta Gvisekan (Scotland). They were published in the magazine Country Life in 1952, when the great-nephew of Lord Tvidmauta – sixth graph Ilchestera, a historian and a hunter – made available to the general public papers of his ancestor.
Now we know that in the formation of a golden retriever involved Tweed Water Spaniel, and the small type of Newfoundland. Early retrievers crossed with other breeds – Irish setters, water spaniels. Toe game with the water was very important.
Lord Tvidmaut bought his first Yellow Retriever Noosa in Brighton in 1865. They said that Nous was grown on the estate of Count Chichester. In the photograph the dog, dated 1870, we see a large golden retriever with wavy hair. In some paintings on display at the British Museum, shows the dogs of the same type. Artists have often painted portraits of lords and their families, representing a number of pet dogs with them.
On the banks of the River Tweed, where there are named Lord Tvidmauta, those years were distributed Tweed Water Spaniels, used for toe game. They came from big water dogs, which over the years grew on the coast of Britain. According to Dalziel, author of “British Dogs” (1881), Tweed Water Spaniels were long-tailed dogs, light-colored liver with curly hair, leaves, however, the impression that they were originated from the hairless dogs, with heavy ( as a setter), fleshy ears, with slight feathering on the ears and front legs, conical head and droops slightly lips. Although this type of water spaniel has long disappeared, its influence on the breed golden retriever can not be overestimated. Jaeger books, which were conducted in Gvisekane report that approximately 1867-1868 years Nusa tied with liver colored female Tweed Water Spaniel named Belle. In this litter was four puppies: Crocus, Primrose, Ada and Kauslip. Last again mated with male Tweed Water Spaniel, and the left of the litter puppy-bitch in turn crossed with a descendant of Ada. Puppies yellow color inserts in the stud book

In subsequent matings included an Irish setter and another Tweed Water Spaniel. Apparently used, and Bloodhound.

Yellow or golden, retriever has gained popularity in England by the end of XIX century, and his first victory on the field trials, refers to 1904. Golden Retriever, first introduced in England in the dog show “Crystal Palace” in 1908, was recorded in the lists as a “smooth coat (golden). At the following exhibitions in 1909 and 1913 he was again registered as a smooth coat, and in 1913 he was in a separate group in color and put a gold. Enthusiasts breed of organized club golden retriever (English). In the 90 years of the last century, the golden retrievers were already known in the United States and in Canada. From the UK and Canada, these dogs were in the East and West Coast of the USA in the 1920 and 1930.
First golden retrievers registered in the American Kennel Club in November 1925. Before, if writing about them, and appeared in the AKC studbook, the total group of retrievers with a special description of the color. In Canada, the golden retrievers have identified a separate breed in 1927. The breed has spread to the United States in 1930 and 1940 (American Club Golden Retrievers was established in 1938.) Dogs mainly used for hunting, although some were bred just for show. Breeders put a lot of effort and patience to get a strong, beautiful dog, skillfully fowl, which in those years vodilos in the set. Over time, more and more breeders began to exhibit their dogs in the ring. Mostly prefer darker dogs, but there are a light golden color.

To meet the growing demand in America, England and Scotland exported more and more dogs of both colors. Although some of the light-golden retrievers and have won the show in the U.S., they are not very popular among Americans. Perhaps, these champions should be regarded as exceptions, because they won in spite of their bright color, due to other outstanding qualities.
