Do Pointers point naturally? Do Pointers point naturally?
Yes, most Pointers point naturally. This behavior is an instinctive trait that has been bred into them over generations. From as early as about eight weeks old, Pointers will often freeze and direct their muzzle toward the scent of game birds or other small animals such as rabbits. While this natural instinct is strong, training will help refine and channel the behavior for team hunting.
