Pointers are used to find game birds for [[Hunting|hunters]]. Unlike other hunting dogs, such as [[Spaniel]]s, they do not collect the birds that have been shot but they point out to the hunter where the live bird is hiding. ==History== The most common belief is that the dogs like this breed were imported into England in 1719 by soldiers returning from Spain after a war and bred with local hunting dogs.<ref>{{cite web |title=Pointer (English Pointer) |url=https://www.dailypaws.com/dogs-puppies/dog-breeds/english-pointer |publisher=Daily Paws |accessdate=7 December 2023}}</ref><ref>{{cite book |last=Edwards |first=Sydenham |date=1800 |title=Cynographia Britannica |url=https://archive.org/details/McGillLibrary-rbsc_blackerwood_cynographia-britannica_folioOTCF26-20319 |location=London |publisher=C.
