Gunter English Pointer  

Gunter "Gunny"

Everybody loves him...

amazing, sweet, silly, lovable, clown boy. A three-year old English Pointer, Gunter was kept chained under a table, in a hole from 8 weeks to 2 years old.

This boy is nearly perfect - loves dogs and people - house and crate trained - knows basic commands and walks great on a leash - even knows a few tricks (like spinning the lid off the food bin) to let you know it's dinner time (or not!)!

Have you been wondering about Gunter?  Gunter was released from physical therapy, is back home with his foster, and has been seeing Marta LaColla, D.V.M for acupuncture - please consider making a donation for his continued care!

Learn more about Gunter, and how you can help.

What is a sporting breed?

Meet the breeds...

Naturally active and alert, Sporting dogs make likeable, well-rounded companions. Members of the AKC Sporting Group include pointers, retrievers, setters and spaniels. Remarkable for their instincts in water and woods, many of these breeds actively continue to participate in hunting and other field activities. Potential owners of Sporting dogs need to realize that most require regular, invigorating exercise.
