Border Point History
The Border Pointer is a rare, medium-sized working gundog from the eastern border of England and Scotland. The correct name of the Scottish type of the Border Pointer is “Border Collie”, although nowadays, especially in America, the “Collie” part of the name is dropped, causing a possible confusion with the entirely different Scottish herding Collie. The Border Pointer is descended from the now extinct English White Setter, which was brought to the border lands of Scotland and England by early Celtic settlers. It is very similar to the Irish Setter, also descended from the White Setter, although the similarity is not so close as between the two setters.
