The Catalburun, a rare Turkish pointer, is known for a split nose, a unique canine trait. This feature affects their scenting style but does not stop them from excelling at the hunt. Celebrated in Turkey yet little known elsewhere, they stand 20 to 24 inches and weigh 45 to 65 pounds. Used for hunting for generations, they wear short liver and white coats that are easy to maintain. Energetic and driven, they need ample exercise and mental work. Strong hunting instincts can challenge first time owners.
