A Canadian Pointer is a breed of dog, developed as a gundog from the northeastern United States in the late 19th century. The Canadian Pointer is used primarily in hunting upland game.
Canadian Pointers are medium-sized dogs of muscular stature and a narrower gait than their English Pointer counterparts. Their front quarter and hind create a narrower stance than most pointers and they are traditionally less agile than other gundogs. The ears of the Canadian Pointer are shorter than those of both the English Pointer and Portuguese Pointer and the tail is of fuller coat and not straight as that of the English Pointer.
The tail will traditionally measure 10-12 inches and will appear with a curl approximately three-fourths the length of the tail. Male 30 inches or less 48–60 pounds Female 22-28 inches 44–54 pounds.
