Greetings from Poncho
Pointer, 5 Months old
My favourite thing about Poncho is...
Poncho is half German Short Haired Pointer, 1 quarter Weimaraner and quarter Vizsla. My favourite thing about Poncho is how cuddly and clingy he is, he dives under our duvet in between us for the night and he is always warm. He is extremely friendly and confident, and although he's a bit bouncy for most small dogs and some people, he keeps us entertained and well exercised! He is also very smart!
The biggest challenge with Poncho is...
Is his exuberance and willpower. He is such a switched on, excitable dog meaning he must be into everything you do/touch and always greets people with a big leap (he can jump to boop my 6ft tall partner on the nose). I also find his weight and strength difficult to manage at times, especially when he sees another dog on a walk he wants to greet, or when he has zoomies at home 🫣
The most surprising thing about owning a Pointer is...
Poncho does not have as much of a hunting drive as we expected, but he is VERY food orientated (which is great for training but difficult if you want to have friends over for dinner).
What I wish I’d known about Pointers is...
How strong he would be!
