Are Pointers aggressive?

No, Pointers aren’t aggressive as a characteristic of the breed but any dog can exhibit aggressive behaviors if they feel scared or threatened.

Consistent and supportive socialization throughout their life is the best way to help your Pointer feel comfortable in a range of environments so they’ll be less likely to display aggression. Some medical conditions can also cause aggressive behaviors, so it’s important to set up an appointment with your vet if you’re noticing a sudden, concerning, and unaccounted for shift in your pup’s behavior.
