The Pointer is a proud and willful dog, and the confirmation dog is probably a better house pet than the field dog. Let the breeder, or rescue, know your intentions for the dog. Its a clean animal that is good with children and other pets. This is a country dog needing room to run and hunt. They won't tire and need almost daily stimulating exercise and play (or hunting) to have a happy and healthy life. Brush as needed to clear the coat of tangles or burrs.
