POINTER — The 
Pointer is one of the 
oldest known breeds used to 
point game. He is descended 
from the Foxhound, the Grey¬ 
hound, the early Spanish 
Pointer, and possibly the 
Bloodhound. With a lean and 
muscular body, the Pointer 
weighs around 60 pounds and 
is about 26 inches in height. 
He has a short coat and in color is usually white with rich liver mark¬ 
ings, but he may also be white with lemon, orange, or black markings, 
or even solid black. 
CHESAPEAKE BAY RETRIEVER — The only native American 
sporting dog, the Chesapeake was developed from parents that originally 
came from England. He excels as a water dog, being very hardy and a 
fine swimmer. The coat is short and thick with a fine, dense, woolly 
undercoat, which enables him to withstand the cold wind and icy water 
when retrieving ducks. 
The hair has a tendency 
to wave except on the 
face and legs, where it 
is short and straight. 
Varying in height from 
23 to 26 inches, and in 
weight from 60 to 75 
pounds, the Chesapeake 
ranges from a dark 
brown to a faded tan or 
deadgrass color.
