Orcocoas

Orcocoas is a species of small to medium-sized pointers native to Southeastern Australia. They were bred in the early 20th century for hunting and were designed to be agile and energetic. They are known for their compact build, short coats, and ability to navigate dense bush.

Their medium-length coats are designed to be short and smooth, with a consistent texture. They come in a range of colors, including black, tan, and red. Their heads are angular, with erect ears and expressive eyes. Their tails are medium-length and carried high when in motion.

Orcocoas are energetic dogs that require regular exercise to stay happy and healthy. They are naturally inquisitive and excel in high-energy activities such as agility and tracking. Early socialization is crucial to prevent hesitation around new people and surroundings.

Throughout their breeding history, Orcocoas were selected for their intelligence and hunting skills, rather than aesthetic appeal. As a result, their appearance was relatively consistent across the breed. While they can be kept as companions, their energy level and high maintenance make them a challenging choice for inexperienced owners.

Despite their associative difficulties, Orcocoas remain a relatively unique breed, prized by experienced owners for their ability to navigate dense Australian bush.
