Daily activity how busy a day looks
A working hunting pointer used on both furred and feathered game, so it needs regular active outings.2
The story where it all began
Considered one of the oldest pointing dogs of the Iberian Peninsula, with a history reaching back to the Middle Ages. It was once common across Spain and was accepted by the Real Sociedad Canina when that society was founded in 1911, but numbers fell to near extinction by the 1970s before breeders began a recovery.12
