Burgos Pointing Dogs are huge, aristocratic hunting dogs. They work tirelessly in the field and can adapt to any terrain or game, including fur and feathers. This dog is best suited to rural living or at the very least a house with a wide safe yard in which they may run around freely. They also need an active household since they thrive on movement and exercise. Even if they could adjust to an apartment, this dog would need a lot of daily activity - genuine exercise, not just a walk - to be satisfied. If they are not adequately exercised, they can become harmful.

The Burgos Pointing Dog is a devoted and trustworthy companion dog. They are excellent family pets since they are calm and friendly with youngsters. They are suitable for new owners, while a firm but fair owner is preferred. This dog does not respond well to harsh training techniques; instead, they prefer calm, quiet owners that are confident and kind. They have a characteristic short and thick coat that is generally liver and white in colour, with extensive ticking that gives the coat a grizzled look. This is one dog who lives up to their regal elegance appearance by being obedient and compassionate.

Burgos Pointer Dog History

The Burgos pointer, also known as the Spanish pointer or the Perdiguero de Burgos, is a big and strong Spanish dog. This dog is supposed to have originated in the 16th century in the centre of Spain. Despite the absence of records, it is usually assumed that the Pachón Navarro (a pointer) and the Sabueso Espaol (a scenting dog) were the breed's forerunners. Over the years, the Burgos Pointer is considered to have influenced the genetics of a number of European pointing dogs.

The Burgos Pointer is a hunting dog that thrives in a rural environment where it may roam freely. Historically, the Burgos Pointer was a heavier and larger dog, but it has developed into a thinner dog that is faster on its paws and better at tracking smaller animals. This species was developed to hunt deer, but it is currently employed to hunt a wide range of wildlife, including birds, rabbits, and foxes. This breed is unconcerned about getting its toes wet and will happily hunt its prey on land or in water. They can hunt and retrieve in addition to pointing, making them a sought-after and versatile hunting companion.

The Burgos Pointer was admitted into the UKC's Gun Dog group in 1996, and they are also recognised by the FCI's Continental Pointing Dog division. While they have gone perilously near to extinction in the past, they have seen a quiet resurgence in recent years and are now highly regarded in Spain, where they are still utilised for their intended function.

Burgos Pointer Health and Care

This robust working dog has a lifetime of 12 to 14 years and is normally in good condition. There are only a few considerations to make:

External Otitis

Because these dogs are excellent swimmers who adore the water, keeping their ears clear of moisture and debris can be tough. Unfortunately, because the ear flaps hang down, there is no real way for water to drain, so it lingers in the ear canal and serves as a mini-incubator for bacteria and yeast.

Hunting Accidents & Injuries

Hunting dogs are significantly more vulnerable to accidents and injury than dogs that spend their days indoors or on leash walks. They are prone to spraining and straining their muscles, as well as cuts and lacerations. After returning after an adventure in the wide outdoors, these canines should be given a quick once-over to ensure they are in good working condition.

Burgos Pointer Care

It is critical to take appropriate care of the animals when growing Burgos Pointer dogs. They are lively and tireless dogs. They're more than up to the task of even the most active family, and they shouldn't be adopted as family pets unless they'll get lots of physical activity, such as a daily, brisk, lengthy walk or jog.

Apartment life is not suggested for Burgos Pointer dogs. Indoors, they are moderately active and thrive on land.

The Perdiguero de Burgos has a silky coat that is very easy to maintain. Simply clean your teeth with a hard bristle brush on a regular basis and wash only when required.

Burgos Pointer Dog Breed Care Tips and Important Instructions

The cost of caring for a burgos pointer, which includes everything from food and treats to veterinary care, toys, and a licence, may be between $420 and $780 per year. This does not include capital expenditures such as sterilisation, a collar and leash, a dog carrier, or a doggy kennel. Tip: Before taking your burgos pointer home for the first time, double-check that you have all of the necessary equipment.

Physical exercise is necessary for Burgos Pointers to keep active, refresh their minds, and stay healthy. Burgos pointers benefit from daily action because it helps them avoid boredom, which may contribute to nasty behaviour. Many of your burgos pointer's inherent needs to chew, dig, pursue, retrieve, and herd may be satisfied with some outside fun. Exercise requirements vary depending on your burgos pointer's health and age, but 10 minutes in the garden and a couple of daily trips down the street are unlikely to suffice. If your burgos pointer is a 6- to 18-month-old adolescent, her needs will almost certainly be significantly higher.

Brushing your burgos pointer can help keep it clean and decrease shedding. During the summer or other warm weather, check for fleas and ticks on a daily basis. Bathing burgos pointers only a few times a year is not uncommon. Cut or comb all mats from the burgos pointer's hair before bathing. Rinse the coat thoroughly to remove any soap residue; otherwise, dirt will adhere to the soap residue.

Puppies, as opposed to adults, are unquestionably the most manageable. When holding a burgos pointer puppy, place one hand behind the dog's chest and support the back legs and rump with the forearm or other hand. Never try to raise or grasp your dog by the forelegs, back of the neck, or tail. Lift a bigger, full-grown burgos pointer from below, using one arm to hold his or her chest and the other arm to support his or her rump.

Burgos Pointer Feeding

• Between the ages of eight and twelve weeks, Burgos Pointer pups require four bowls of food every twenty-four hours.
• 3 to 6 month old Burgos Pointer puppies should be fed three times a day.
• Puppies aged six months to one year should be fed twice every 24 hours.
• One meal per day is generally plenty by the time the burgos pointer reaches his first birthday.
• Two lighter meals may be preferred by certain burgos pointers. It is your responsibility to adjust to your burgos pointer's dietary habits.

Full-grown burgos pointers get a complete diet from premium-quality dry food, which may be blended with canned food, water, or broth. Fruits and vegetables, boiled eggs, and cottage cheese may appeal to your burgos kar, but they should account for less than ten percent of his daily ration. Puppies of Burgos Pointers should be fed high-quality, name-brand puppy food. However, you should strive to restrict "people food" because it can lead to mineral and vitamin shortages, as well as bone and tooth troubles, as well as finicky eating habits and obesity. Always provide clean, potable water, and wash water and food dishes often.

Burgos Pointer Home Training Tips and General Information

You must maintain a constant check on your puppy till she learns. When you're unable to, you'll have to confine her. Create a routine for the puppy that will assist him in swiftly settling down. Hourly toilet trips, feeding times, sleep times, walks, play time, exercise, and so on will all be part of the schedule. A puppy who has a full day has no time to get bored and misbehave.

Teach the dog to respect you. Burgos Pointers form packs and follow a leader naturally. If you establish your dominance in no clear terms, teaching will be simple since the puppy will always accept your directions and will not resist your authority.

Make use of only positive training methods. Never yell at, hit, or otherwise mistreat your Burgos Pointer. It's not only cruel, but it can also lead to behavioural issues. Electric shocks, prong collars, sprays, and other methods may cause injury to the animal.

"Nothing in this life is free," teach the puppy. This is a philosophy that is widely accepted as a valuable teaching tool. If you do this, the dog will learn that in order to receive attention, a stroll, or a treat, he must behave nicely.

From the first day, demonstrate the meaning of the word "no." Encourage actions such as jumping, snarling, tugging, yipping, and dashing out of open gates and doors. When there is poor behaviour, appreciate respect and ignore or leave. The puppy will quickly learn that if he misbehaves, he will lose his buddy.

You must catch the Burgos Pointer in the act of breaking a habit and shock her by shaking a bottle of pebbles. As soon as you've done this, tell him to change his behaviour and give him a treat and your praise. Burgos Pointers don't remember what happened before, thus chastising him after an incident is pointless.

Make a point of addressing him by his first name. Never say "Awful TOM" or "No Tom," since this may cause uncertainty and lead the Burgos Pointer to believe that if you mention his name, something bad is about to happen. Hugs, stroking, strolls, munchies, and other pleasurable experiences should be associated with the puppy's name. If this happens, if you call out his name, he will approach freely.

Create a short and quick coaching routine, such as ten minutes three times a day. Long, repetitive lessons might bore the Burgos Pointer and cause him to lose interest in the learning session. Make lessons more enjoyable by using trick training sessions to demonstrate commands like as sit, down, and come.

Learn everything there is to know about crate training, leash walking, housebreaking, and food training. Every Burgos Pointer puppy should be able to master these kindergarten lessons. Know about all the traits as well as qualities of the breed. This will give you important ideas on how to effectively coach the dog.
