A pointing breed is a type of gundog typically used
in finding game. Gundogs are traditionally divided
into three classes: retrievers, flushing dogs, and
pointing breeds. The name pointer comes from the dog's
instinct to point, by stopping and aiming its muzzle
towards game. This demonstrates to the hunter the
location of his or her quarry and allows them to move
into gun range. Pointers were selectively bred for
dogs who had abundant pointing and backing instinct.
