Pointers are thought to be a mix of several breeds, originally from England and developed to be part of hunting parties. Their anatomy reveals similarities to the bloodhound, greyhound, foxhound and bull terrier. When hunting, skills looked for in pointers are point, honor and retrieve. They are expected, with their keen sense of smell, locate game, stop in a pointing stance on seeing another in the pack doing the same, and retrieve dead or wounded game. They are also great runners, and musculature in the chest and legs show this.
