- Do all in its power to protect and advance the interests of the breed by encouraging participation and sportsmanship in conformation shows and field events.
- Urge members, breeders and judges to accept the standard of the breed as the only standard of excellence by which the Portuguese Pointers shall be judged.
- Provide educational forums on the care, training and breeding of Portuguese Pointers as well as hosting matches, shows and field events.
- Assist in a rescue service for displaced Portuguese Pointers
