The Pointer is an elegantly shaped dog, symmetrical and well built all
over, of great strength and endurance, yet full of refinement and very
speedy. The leading essentials of a good Pointer are pace, endurance,
intelligence, and powers of smell. The head should be fairly long and
broad at the skull, muzzle long and well filled up. Eyes soft and dark
brown in color. Ears soft and hanging gracefully. Neck well arched and
long, free from dewlap or throatiness. Ribs well arched. Loins and hind
quarters very muscular. The stern must be strong at the root and free
from the slightest approach to curl at the tip.
