About Pointer Dogs

Pointers are elegant, athletic sporting dogs known for their classic "pointing" stance when they detect game birds. They are one of the most versatile and capable bird dogs, combining speed, endurance, and a keen nose. Their clean lines and noble bearing make them one of the most beautiful sporting breeds.

Adopting a Pointer brings a loyal, even-tempered companion who is gentle with everyone. They are excellent family dogs that are wonderful with children and enjoy being part of an active household. Their athletic ability and willingness to please make them rewarding companions.

Local Climate & Pet Care

Winter

40°F to 65°F

Dec – Feb

Mild days and cool nights make winter one of the most comfortable seasons for outdoor pet activities. Occasional frost on early mornings means short-haired breeds may need a light jacket for dawn walks. This is the rainy season, with most of Riverside’s limited annual rainfall concentrated in these months.

Spring

48°F to 80°F

Mar – May

Pleasant warming temperatures bring ideal conditions for exploring Mount Rubidoux and local parks with your pet. Wildflowers bloom across the hillsides after rainy winters. Start transitioning walk times earlier as temperatures begin to climb in May.

Summer

62°F to 95°F

Jun – Aug

Inland heat builds significantly, with temperatures regularly exceeding 93°F. Walk pets only before 8 AM or after sunset, and test pavement temperature before every outing. Ensure pets have constant access to shade and fresh water, and never leave animals in parked vehicles.
