 | A fact from this article appeared on Wikipedia's Main Page in the "Did you know?" column on January 15, 2021. The text of the entry was: Did you know ... that it is popularly believed that the Pointer descends from Old Spanish Pointers introduced to England in 1713 by soldiers returning from Spain after the Peace of Utrecht? | |||||||||

Old Spanish Pointer
editSomeone needs to make a wiki-page for the Old Spanish pointer. This breed is mentioned as a developing factor in almost every pointing breed yet there is little to no information on it.
Image Change
editI have changed the image on the left to the image on the right because I believe that the newer photo is better quality and and a full body shot shows more detail. Any problems?
The image on the right doesn't look like any pointer i have ever seen. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 212.159.23.112 (talk) 18:01, 17 March 2018 (UTC)
Mastiff?
edit"is a medium to large-sized breed of dog (a Mastiff)"
Maybe I'm just confused because English is not my mother language, but does this sentence claim that the English Pointer is a Mastiff breed?? Because it certainly is NOT! Also, if the sentence claims that a synonyme for "large-sized breed of dog" is Mastiff, that's not true either! There are for example sighthound breeds that are considered large and yet that does not make them Mastiffs... --Canarian (talk) 16:04, 19 February 2019 (UTC)
- Hello Canarian, that statement is definitely incorrect and I have removed it. Kind regards, Cavalryman V31 (talk) 19:19, 20 February 2019 (UTC).
Is this an encyclopaedic article... ?
edit... or a sales brochure for a down-south breeder ?
Gosh, they sound all cute and cuddly lying there on the sofa...
And by golly, y’all better exercise them big fellas reg’lar, y’unnerstan’ ?
For cryin’ in a bucket...
The article doesn’t even explain HOW they hunt and point, or why.
