Are Pointers good with kids?

Yes, Pointers can be good with kids thanks to their sociable and friendly demeanor. This breed is gregarious, playful, and extremely active, so they can make great playmates for older children.

If you plan on adopting a Pointer into a home with young kids, it’s best to make sure your new canine BFF has a daily outlet for high-energy activity to reduce boisterous behavior around the children. Some Pointers may be prone to accidentally knocking over young children because of their high-energy and boisterous nature. Engaging in training, exercise, and socialization from an early age can also help ensure that your Pointer develops solid energy regulation and the skills needed for settling in the house.

Regardless of breed, p et parents should always supervise interactions between any dogs and kids to ensure that both the dog and the child understand how to behave appropriately around each other. Teaching children how to safely interact with dogs can help prevent any potential misunderstandings or accidents.
