About the English Pointer

The English Pointer is bred primarily for sport afield. Extremely intellegent, athletic and graceful, powerfull nose and hard-driving hunting dog.

They are even-tempered, congenial dogs happiest living indoors as part of the family. Pointers are affectionate and loyal. Their aggression level is very low to non-existent and they can happily co-exist with other dogs and often cats.

The Pointer's main lineage includes Foxhound, Greyhound, and Bloodhound crossed with some sort of "setting spaniel," which played an important part in the creation of all modern bird dogs.

The standard colourings of the Pointer are liver and white, lemon and white, orange and white or black and white. Lemon and white dogs have a flesh colored nose, while orange and white dogs have dark (black or very dark brown) pigmentation on their nose and around their eyes. The body of the Pointer in mainly white, but there may be some body markings.

The average life span of a Pointer is 12 to 17 years. Pointers are fairly genetically sound as a breed.

About the German Shorthaired Pointer

The German Shorthaired Pointer is considered the Versatile all-purpose gun dog. While nearly impossible to identify all the breeds of its origin the GSP is a descended from the old Spanish Pointer which incorporated Hounds of St. Hubert, the Foxhound, scent hounds, and eventually the English Pointer.

While very active in the field the German Shorthaired Pointer loves to be part of the family and are loyal family member. They are intelligent, eager to please and even make great watch dogs.

Its hair is short, tail docked and come in combination of liver and white such as "liver and white ticked", "liver patched and white ticked", "White and Liver patched with liver ticking" or liver roan.

At Little Wing Gun Dogs we breed a medium sized GSP that in weight range anywhere between 40 - 50 lbs. They are Predominantly White with solid liver head, liver patched and liver ticking. We love the fact that this size makes them more maneuverable, have better agility and stamina and the color combo makes them easier to see in all types of cover including snow.

Canine Diseases and Prevention

At Little Wing Gun Dogs cleanliness and disease prevention is just one of our top priorities. There is no substitution for a clean kennel and healthy pup. Often people ask what are types of canine diseases and what preventive vaccinations are given to our pups. Starting at 6 weeks of age we vaccinate our pups with what is a called a 7 way every other week until 12 weeks. Pups that often leave at 8 weeks of age are administered 2 shots (week 6 and week 8) and wormed starting at 3 weeks of age. Below is a list and brief description of some canine diseases we treat our pups and adult dogs. For more information and treatments you can visit our good friends at Revival Animal Health.

Parvovirus (Parvo) - which is a viral disease that attacks pups more so than adults. It is usually spread through feces which when ingested attack the intestinal tract, white blood cells and even the heart muscle. Common symptoms are bloody stools/diarrhea, vomiting, loss of appetite.

Corona virus - an inflammation of the small intestine. Usually transmitted by infected feces common symptoms are diarrhea and vomiting which can develop to severe dehydration.

Leptospirosis - Leptospirosis is caused by a bacteria which is shed in the urine of infected animals. Transmission occurs through direct contact with the skin or oral mucous membranes. Leptospirosis infects many different species of animals including people. The disease can vary a lot in severity but common symptoms include high fever, depression, jaundice, bleeding, vomiting, and lower back pain. It can lead to serious kidney disease with decreased urine volume, collapse and death. There are several different serovars of Leptospirosis which can infect dogs some are spread by rodents, others by wildlife and livestock. Treatment consists of antibiotics, fluid replacement and controlling the vomiting (see Rebound). An untreated animal that recovers can become a carrier and shed the disease for up to a year. There are four strains of Leptospirosis.

Bordetellosis-Kennel Cough - is the most common bacteria isolated from dogs with respiratory disease. It is also a major component of a disease commonly called Kennel Cough. Viruses such as adenovirus type 2 and parainfluenza may also play a part in this disease. Bordetella causes a respiratory infection that is spread by breathing in respiratory secretions from coughing, infected dogs. The most common symptom is a dry, hacking, nonproductive cough which can be followed by gagging or retching. The cough usually lasts 1 to 3 weeks but it can take months for infected dogs to completely eliminate the bacteria from their lungs. Infected dogs need to be immediately isolated from other dogs. Depending on the severity of their disease they may need to be treated with antibiotics and cough suppressants.

Hepatitis-Adenovirus Type I - Infectious Canine Hepatitis is caused by Type 1 adenovirus, which is fairly resistant to inactivation. The virus that attacks the tonsils, lymph nodes and then the liver. It is shed in all body secretions, but more commonly by urine. Transmission is by contact with contaminated objects. This virus does not cause human hepatitis. The most common symptoms are fever, depression, abdominal pain, vomiting and diarrhea. In a small number of infected dogs, the virus can localize in the eye, causing a whiteness or cloudiness of the eye. Vaccines are available which can effectively prevent this disease. Most of the vaccines, however, contain adenovirus type 2, which still protects against type 1 infections, but eliminating possible side effects of cloudy eyes which can be seen, rarely, with adenovirus type 1 vaccines.

Parainfluenza-Adenovirus Type II - This virus causes a mild respiratory tract infection. It is transmitted through contact with oral and nasal secretions. Common symptoms include fever, nasal discharge, and a dry hacking cough. The disease by itself, is usually mild and brief, however, in some cases it can progress into a more serious pneumonia

Distemper - Canine distemper is caused by a virus, which does not live long outside of the dog. It is primarily transmitted by contact with respiratory secretions from an infected dog, but it can be found in all body secretions. The disease is highly contagious and commonly causes death. The disease is most common in puppies from 3 - 6 months of age. The initial symptoms resemble a mild cold and may even go unnoticed. Several days later, infected dogs will have discharge from their eyes and nose, depression, loss of appetite, vomiting and diarrhea. Puppies, who survive through the initial disease, will commonly develop seizures 1 - 3 weeks later. In most dogs the seizures will get progressively worse, until the puppy succumbs to the disease. Puppies who survive may have incomplete development of their teeth, thickened footpads and may develop seizures later in life. Distemper should be treated by a veterinarian. The best prevention is vaccination.
