QUESTION: I just adopted an 8 month old male pointer puppy. For the time being while I'm at work I am crating him, coming home at lunch to walk him and take him to our mini "puppy park" to run after work...will that suffice for adequate exercise until the weekends? Also, he hasn't tried to harm my kitty, but he does growl and "spring" at them...is this just being a puppy and he'll grow out of it or am I to keep them separated for life? Thanks!!! Jennifer

QUESTION: I adopted a 4 year old pointer. Is it easy to teach him to go without a leash?

I think it should be easy, I'd follow the basic "come" command at close range with a dog whistle-and if you choose you could use a remote collar to later allow the dog to be able to run off-leash using the dog whisle(collar if necessary) to call the dog back. -my pointer really needs to run quite a bit off leash daily.

QUESTION: We were told our dog is a mix of pointer and lab. While his coat is white with big golden spots like a pointer, his lower legs inside where the fur is sparse and his bellie show black spots. Do pointers have that characteristic on their skin?

QUESTION: I'm trying to convince my parents to get a pointer, how might I convince them to decide that a pointer is the right dog for us? Is there anything about this breed that might attract my parents? Thanks so much!

Yes Pointer's do shed, but daily grooming w/ a brush and periodic bathing will keep that at a min.

QUESTION: I have a 6 week old German pointer who is a bit sooky and is becoming a bit aggressive towards me. He was a present from my partner but he seems to be have turned on me, he loves playing with everyone else but for some reason he doesn't seem to like me. What can i do? He's growling at me and goes to bite. I can't even pick him up for a cuddle anymore because of it.

Get with a positive reinforcement trainer ASAP! Find one at www.apdt.com. Do NOT use traditional (aversive) training. Pain makes the fear/reactivity/aggression WORSE.
This behavior will certainly be a worse problem if you do nothing and will most likely end with a dead dog..

QUESTION: Thank you anonymous but I think Engolish pointers are short-haired, aren't they? This one has a long silky coat, like a setter, but white with many black spots!
