A working hunting pointer used on both furred and feathered game, so it needs regular active outings.2
Considered one of the oldest pointing dogs of the Iberian Peninsula, with a history reaching back to the Middle Ages. It was once common across Spain and was accepted by the Real Sociedad Canina when that society was founded in 1911, but numbers fell to near extinction by the 1970s before breeders began a recovery.12
The name 'Pachón Navarro' comes from the Spanish word 'pachón', meaning a thick-set or stocky dog, combined with 'Navarro', referring to its origin in the autonomous community of Navarre in northern Spain.4
I wake up with a happy wiggle and sniff the air. My human and I head to the field where I point at a hidden bird, my tail steady. We run through the tall grass, and I feel the sun on my back. Later, I rest by their side, my nose twitching with dreams of tomorrow's adventure. Life is good.

Not veterinary advice. Check with your vet first if your pet has allergies, a health condition, is on a special diet or is pregnant. Treats should stay a small part of the daily food. Cut to a safe size and supervise. Terms of use
Feed your adult Pachón Navarro at least two meals a day on a consistent schedule, while puppies need three to four smaller meals. This matches general guidance for dogs, as their stomachs empty within a few hours. For exact portions, check the food label and ask your vet.5
Choose a high-quality dog food suited to your dog's age and activity level. Avoid dangerous foods like grapes, raisins, chocolate, onions, garlic, xylitol, and macadamia nuts, which are especially harmful to dogs. Always keep these out of reach.6
Pet Wiki's starting plan suggests bathing every 8 weeks, and general guidance recommends at least once every three months. Bathe more often if your dog gets very dirty or has skin issues, but avoid overbathing to keep the coat healthy.7 Pet Wiki plan
Brush your Pachón Navarro weekly, as its short coat benefits from regular grooming to remove loose hair and keep the skin healthy. This matches Pet Wiki's plan and general advice for short smooth coats.17 Pet Wiki plan
Trim nails every 4 weeks, or sooner if you hear clicking on the floor. Use a proper nail trimmer and cut a little at a time, stopping before the quick to avoid bleeding. If unsure, ask your vet or a groomer for a demonstration.7 Pet Wiki plan
This active hunting dog needs regular daily exercise, including walks and playtime, to stay happy and healthy. Pet Wiki's plan recommends daily outings, and its working background means it thrives with active adventures.2 Pet Wiki plan
Brush your dog's teeth several times a week using a pet-safe toothpaste, and check ears weekly for moisture or dirt, especially since floppy ears can trap moisture. Never push anything into the ear canal, and keep ears dry to prevent infections.7 Pet Wiki plan
Lifespan varies for this breed, so it's best to ask your vet or a good breeder for a typical range. With proper care, many dogs enjoy a long, healthy life.
Temperament can vary, so ask a reputable breeder about the specific dog's personality. Early socialization and training help, but there is no general rule for this breed.
This depends on the individual dog's training and temperament. Some may tolerate alone time, but as an active breed, it may struggle if left for long periods. Ask your vet or breeder for advice tailored to your dog.
