"Joker is a 2 year old Gointer. His mom was an English Pointer and his dad was a Golden Retriever. He is 75 lbs. He has an absolute great temperament, great with kids with no bad habits. He has never snipped at any of our kids no matter what they do. He gets along great with other dogs. Probably would get along with cats also if taught. I say he doesn't have a bad bone in his body. He is intelligent, easy to train and eager to please. He does need a lot of exercise or he will tend to pace in the house. Always has his nose in the air looking for birds. His ball drive is out of this world."
The American Gointer is not a purebred dog. It is a cross between the English Pointer and the Golden Retriever. The best way to determine the temperament of a mixed breed is to look up all breeds in the cross and know youcan get any combination of any of the characteristics found in either breed. Not all of these designer hybrid dogs being bred are 50% purebred to 50% purebred. It is very common for breeders to breed multi-generation crosses.
