Pointers: training, breed guides and field work for weimaraners, vizslas and more

The pointer is a specialist. Built for speed and stamina across open ground, capable of ranging far ahead of the gun and locking on point with an intensity that stops everything – handler, dog and game – in its tracks. In the right conditions, on the right ground, there is no more dramatic sight in the gundog world.

ShootingUK’s pointer pages cover the full range of pointing breeds: the English pointer, German shorthaired pointer, German wirehaired pointer, weimaraner, Hungarian vizsla, wirehaired vizsla, Italian spinone and Bracco Italiano. Breed history, working bloodlines, selection, conditioning and the training approaches that develop a dog capable of performing on grouse moors, partridge ground and the field trial circuit are all covered here.

Pointing technique, handling at distance, steadiness to game – for handlers serious about pointing breeds, this is the resource.

For handlers who want a dog that covers ground and means business.
