The Old Spanish Pointer, or Perro de Punta Español, is an extinct breed of Spanish pointing dogs known from the Early Modern Period; it is considered the first of its type from which all modern pointing dog breeds descend.

[2] It was likely introduced to England some time during the early the 18th century, where it was known as the Spanish pointer.

It was possibly introduced by a Portuguese merchant, or perhaps brought back to England by officers returning from the War of the Spanish Succession.

In terms of colouration, it was typically a mix of white with either brown, red, or black.

Breed standards also allowed for the dog to be completely brown.
