  Pointer (dog) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Pointer is a group of dog breeds; specifically, they are a type of gundog typically used in hunting birds.
The name pointer most likely comes from the dog's stance when they spot prey; many dogs point naturally at interesting noises or possible prey by lifting one paw and tucking it under their chests, with their nose extended and tail straight behind.
Pointers were selectively bred for dogs who had this natural trait.
