A classic breed that is symmetrical and well built all over, general outline a series of graceful curves. A strong but graceful appearance. Aristocratic. Alert with appearance of strength, endurance and speed. Their coat is fine, short, hard and evenly distributed, perfectly smooth and straight with decided sheen. Usual colours are lemon and white, orange and white, liver and white, and black and white. Self colours and tri-colours are also correct.
Highlight this aristocratic breed and respect what the coat should be. Bath using Plush Puppy Herbal Whitening Shampoo which is primarily derived from organic sources with Ginseng extracts, protein, and a violet tone combined in a rich formula that works brilliantly to whiten whites and intensify darker colours. It DOES NOT lighten or bleach but instead tones with optical brighteners.
It reduces yellowing or warm tones in white coats or white areas of the coat and will negate unwanted tones from sun fading or reddening in the coat. Similarly for darker colours, it will reduce any warm tones to intensify the depth of colour by revitalising any lost cool tones.
Herbal Whitening Shampoo makes white coats gleam and sparkle with a pearly sheen. All coat colours are made of the full spectrum of the colours of the rainbow and first tones to fade are always the blues and purples leaving a reddish, orange overtone to the coat. This is a quick and effective way to give depth back to your blacks and reds without damaging the coat or using any artificial coat colourings. Use at a dilution of 1 part shampoo to 5-10 parts water. Lather and then rinse.
There are times where a Pointer likes being a Pointer and gets that extra bit grubby and dirty. For those times first bath using Plush Puppy Deep Cleansing Shampoo.

This shampoo has extra surfactants that open the cuticle deeper to allow the deep cleaning and clarifying process. It will provide the deepest coat clean available leaving the coat reset and refreshed. Not only will it spruce up dull whites, it can also be used on any colour coat for a thorough and intensive clean. Deep Cleansing Shampoo will assist in reducing unwanted coat stains.

It is non greasy and totally water soluble making it easy to apply without build-up. Seabreeze Oil is excellent for maintaining the healthy vigour to the skin and coat and has healing and calming qualities. For this use at 1 tablespoon of Seabreeze to 1 L of warm water. Sponge on or sluice well through the coat, ensuring even distribution. LEAVE IN. DO NOT RINSE.
