Are Pointers good apartment dogs?

No, Pointers aren’t good apartment dogs without carefully considering how you can provide for their high-energy needs. They can adapt to an apartment life but need more than daily walks to be content. They’re best suited for apartment life if you consistently take them to green spaces where they can run, sniff, play, explore, and burn off lots of energy. 

These pups can be prone to taking off if they start following a scent or small wildlife, so the area must be either fenced-in or you have worked on developing a rock-solid recall. For dog-friendly Pointers, a daily trip to a fenced-in dog park can be a great option - especially enrichment-oriented spaces with trees, grass, agility installations, and water features.
