German Short- Haired Pointing Dog
Temperament
Friendly, Smart, Willing to please
[3]Background and human relationship
Developed in Germany as a versatile gundog, with a studbook established in 1897. Selected for work beyond pointing alone, it is the short-coated type known as Kurzhaar.
[1]Build and coat
A balanced athletic build combines strength, endurance and speed under a short glossy coat. It remains distinct from the wirehaired breed with its harsh coat and facial furnishings.
[1]Colour and comparisons
Brown self-colour, brown with white, dark or light brown roan and brown-marked white occur, with corresponding black-based colours. Large patches differ from fine roan intermixture.
