[2]A Danish hunting dog shaped in the early 18th century
The FCI standard traces the breed to about 1710, when Morten Bak crossed dogs kept by travelling people with local farm dogs and developed a white-and-brown piebald type over eight generations. The standard presents some ancestry details as probable rather than certain.
[1]A quiet bird dog that points game
It is a versatile bird gundog. The standard describes a steady working pace, maintaining contact with the hunter and pointing game without disturbing the ground unnecessarily.
[1]White and brown patches over a short hard coat
It is a medium-sized, rectangular, strongly built dog. The short dense coat is white with brown patches or freckles, while the standard describes males as more substantial and females as lighter and more spirited.
