Description
Dog Breed: Pointer / Labrador Retriever (short coat). Adoption Fee: 275.00. Sunkist was surrendered to PRBJ along with her 9 puppies. She was abandoned by her owner, and another family agreed to take care of her short term.... and quickly found out she was expecting puppies. Sunkist does take a moment to warm up, but once she does you can quickly see what a sweet dog she is. She needs good introduction to other dogs to be comfortable and would benefit from a quiet home with individual or couple who will be there most of the time because she just does not like being alone. Sunkist is great on a leash and enjoys long walks. A home with no young children would be best. She would also benefit from a fenced backyard. She is not a good candidate for a dog park or an apartment setting.

Overview:
The Pointer is a noble and athletic breed, originating in England as a gun dog specifically bred to "point" to game birds. Physically, they are elegant and muscular, boasting a short, dense coat typically white with liver, lemon, orange, or black markings. Their most striking feature is their distinctive "pointer" stance, where they freeze with one foreleg raised and their body directed towards the quarry. Temperamentally, Pointers are known for being friendly, intelligent, and highly energetic. They thrive on activity and require a good deal of exercise, making them best suited for active families or individuals who can provide ample space for them to run, rather than small apartments. While generally robust, some health considerations include hip and elbow dysplasia, and certain eye conditions. With proper training and socialization, a Pointer can be a devoted and affectionate companion.
