Portuguese Pointer
A Portuguese Pointer dog is a breed of dog developed as a gun dog. This dog is one of several pointing breeds and is mainly used in grey partridge hunting.
The Portuguese Pointer is of medium proportions, and should be
well balanced. When being evaluated at a conformation show it
should be judged for conformation that benefits working ability,
deviations from the standard should be penalized according to
the amount that they interfere with working ability. The
Portuguese Pointer should be almost square in build, with the
10:10½ height to length ratio. The tail is docked to half, or
two-thirds the natural length, and should be held level with the
spine when the dog is excited, hanging down otherwise.
The coat is short and coarse on most of the dog, being the
texture of velvet on the ears and face.
Its standard color is yellow or light brown, both unicolored or
with white markings.
The height at the withers is 56 - 50 cm (22 - 20 in). The weight
is 20 - 27 kl (44 - 59 lb) for males, and 16 - 21 kl (35 - 48
lb) for females
