About
Indi, The Pointer |
|
Indi, a
Mixed Breed Pointer was
adopted by
Pamela from
United States. |
Here's how
Pamela describes
Indi :
Indi is an intelligent high energy dog. she has the color and markings of an english pointer with the long ears and keen senses of a hound. she requires lots of exercise and always wants to be investigating things. |
Does
Indi 's behavior show the inherent Pointer
characteristics?
Her behavior is very typical of both breeds; if she gets onto a scent, it is hard to get her to focus on anything else at that time. she will continue to follow the scent instead of coming when called and can get obsessed with tracking something. she spends long periods of time watching and following chipmunks along the stonewalls. she pushes her head into the space between the rocks and "snorts" out air to find the scent. she is very determined and doesn't give up! this winter she has been catching moles from along the foundation of our house. she is quite proud of herself!
she loves to steal things from the counter, run off with socks and baseball caps, and grab any tissues or paper towels that she can find.
she seems to have many traits characteristic of both of these busy breeds. |
Special Achievement of Indi :
In addition to being very active, she is an absolute snuggle bug in the house. she loves to be curled up next to (or even on top of) you on the couch. her favorite place to rest is completely submerged under the bed covers or wrapped in a blanket. she does love her crate, too, and will head right into it when asked. |
Pamela's advice on what type of family should adopt
a Pointer:
A family with a large fenced-in yard or invisible fence is a must. also, owners who are willing to take their dog on walks several times a week in addition to exercising by playing running activities in the yard. this is a combination of two high energy breeds. these types of dogs needs to be physically and mentally challenged each day so they channel their energy in a positive manner. if not, they could end up getting into trouble and being destructive.
