Hunters are no longer satisfied with dogs that have only outstanding field abilities or great looks, Hunters now want dogs that have both--the Elhew pointer.

A Gentlemen’s Shooting Dog explained by one of the greatest

Bob Wehle - 1964:Wing and Shot: “You may say, “Well, I want a dog for shooting and I’m not particularly concerned about his looks.” My answer to this is, number one, your dog should conform to a good standard to be physically capable of doing the many things you are going to ask of him. For instance, you will probably expect your dog to have endurance and hunt several hours a day, maybe several days in a row. In order to do this, his body must be constructed correctly. You will want him to have a fast, smooth,graceful gait. Again, he has to be made right. You will expect to get many years of hunting from him. If his feet, legs,and body are properly formed, he should fulfill this expectation. A second reason why the dog should be good looking is simply for the sheer pride and joy of ownership. Most sportsmen I know have a pretty good idea of what a bird dog should look like and they are quick to recognize one when they see one. Not only will you get much pleasure from watching such a dog perform, but you will get much food for your vanity in owning such a prize. Also remember that a common looking dog eats just as much as a good-looking one. Do not believe that poppycock about a dog being beautiful but dumb. That is no more true with dogs than it is with people.” Hunting and breeding the Classic Foot Hunting Lines of English Pointers.
