Double-nosed pointer

"Double-nosed" pointers are a type of gundog that have the unusual feature of a split (bifid) nose, a form of cleft palate. They do not actually have two noses. It is believed by some that this unusual nose gives this dog extra sensitivity to smells, a primary reason it was chosen as a hunting dog; however, there is no scientific evidence for the notion. It appears to be a normal dog's nose, but with the nostrils separated by a band of skin and fur dividing the nose all the way to the dog's upper lip.
