Pointer, 11 Months Old
Bear is a gorgeous young Pointer pup. Still under a year old, his date of birth is 01/04/2023.
A hunter had a litter of six Pointer pups, he kept the two females to breed from and the four male pups were abandoned and ended up at the shelter (Rhys, Joey, Bailey and Bear). We are told their mother is an orange and white Pointer and their father is a black and white Pointer. One pup was immediately adopted in Spain and the other three are still waiting for homes.
Bear is an amazing young pointer, despite his rough start in life he is growing into such a handsome, loving and well rounded dog. He shares a kennel sometimes with a brother and sometimes with other dogs as he gets on well with all dogs. These three pointer boys are amongst the most sociable and submissive dogs the shelter has ever had, they ignore any conflict with other dogs, and tend to lie down, in belly-up submission if unsure. They get along well with all dogs, whether they are older, adult, puppies, females, males, quiet or playful. The pointer boys are playful and have helped shy dogs to play and gain confidence at the shelter. They sometimes play with each other, sometimes with other dogs, and sometimes they entertain themselves alone with a stick, a toy, or a butterfly. However they are dogs that prefer people over other dogs.
Bear seeks out attention from people, he is so loving and adores strokes and cuddles. All three pointer boys allow themselves to be handled and manipulated even by strangers. When someone new arrives, they run to them and lick them all over. They are incredibly affectionate. With children they are submissive, playful, and very loving, they will probably try to lick their faces and lie on top of them, and these are big dogs so families with older children would be suitable homes.
Bear was was born with eyelids that turned inward, so his eyelashes irritated his eye. He has now been successfully operated on, so the lids lie correctly over his eyes and no longer will cause problems. Bear is a cheerful and optimistic dog, he is very affectionate and loving. He is slightly calmer than his brothers and seems to learn things more quickly. Bear often leaps up to receive some love and gives great Bear Hugs.
Bear has been cat tested and was submissive and politely interested, we feel he could live happily with a confident cat with careful introductions.
Bear and his brothers have strong prey drive in their genes like all the gun dogs we rehome, they will no doubt grow up into tall, active, intelligent dogs who love to run just as much as snooze on the couch, we are looking for active homes with time and commitment to train these young dogs as well as giving them lots of cuddles.
