English Pointer Dog

This is Belle. It used to be known as English Pointer until about 25 years ago. The pointer was actually changed this to pointer and English was dropped from the name.

Belle actually was born in Mexico. Her father was actually imported to Mexico from Italy. She is just a great girl. There’s four different colors in Pointers. One is original white, one is lemon in white. The distinctive difference between the two is that she has a black nose which makes her an orange white and if her nose was pink then she would be a lemon and white. We also have liver in white and black and white. Black and white used to be the most prominent color out there in the United States. Orange and white has pretty much taken over that colorization in the last 10-15 years. She is a really a typi-pointer by the AKC Standards. She has quite a good nose on her and has a nice honey instinct and it’s just a real pleasure to have as a house pet.

She has got a really key nose. As you can see, she’s quite perky this morning with the wind up and she can smell the birds in the air and she’s always ready to please. The most famous pointer we always like to kid around is Pluto. And actually all four colors can come in a salad just like Pluto. So you know, you have four colors, all with white or in salad.
