What breeds can a pointer be cross bred with?
I meant, what breeds are they usually bred with? I'm not planning on breeding or anything, but I just wanted to know. I've come across Pointers-Grey Hounds and Pointer-Lab mixes.... Ok, thank you all for your answers! I just wanted to say that I am NOT breeding!! My own dog is neutered. So I completely support that. I was just ASKING. As a general question. Thanks again! :D

- any breed. depends on who the parents were but any breed can be mixed with another.
- Why would anyone on purpose cross breed a pointer or any other breed? Irresponsible breeding, that is why!
- Dogs of different breeds can cross breed, so long as they are physically able to do so (pretty hard to cross a Chihuahua with a Great Dane lol). However, the intentional breeding of crossbred dogs is not something I endorse. Usually, it is done because of greed, or because of lack of awareness about the importance of spaying and neutering pets. No one should breed their dog unless they have done a lot of research into the genetic difficulties common to the breed, or unless they have shown or worked the dog in competition (puppy buyers have a right to know if the pup's parents are capable of functioning properly, both physically and mentally). If you ever want to be a breeder, get a mentor from the breed club of the breed you are interested in, and learn a lot before you ever do it.
- .... Well; If you mix mutts together, you'll get a lot of future health problems, including ones to your own dog. Spay/Neuter
- Theroretically and irresponsibly, ANY Responsibly = NONE. #
- Why would you want to ?
- Pretty much any dog, but do try another pointer. Even though they are a middle size range dog, nothing too small or too large as the progeny would have trouble breeding.
