The German Shorthaired Pointer Dog ( Confirmed introduction)
The ideal height of German Shorthaired Pointer dogs should be 58.4 ~ 63.5cm, and the ideal height of female dogs should be 53.3 ~ 58.4cm. The ideal body weight of a male dog should be 24.95 ~ 31.75kg, and the ideal body weight of a female dog should be 20.41 ~ 27.22kg.
Morphological Characteristics
Ratio - Measure the distance from the chest to the last protruding point of the buttocks and the distance from the upper edge of the shoulder blade to the ground. For a short-haired dog, its body length must be equal to its body height or slightly longer than its body height
Structure - For a dog, a dog with thin bones and fine bones will never be taller than its body height. Worth having. It must have a strong and healthy skeleton to adapt to various conditions of terrain. But the most important thing is not the size of the bones, but the precise structural proportions of the dog's bones. A bone structure that is too heavy or too light is a fault. For dogs with long legs and tall bodies, male dogs must be clumsy and inflexible dogs due to excess physical material, and female dogs must be dogs with many flaws.
Head
The head is well-proportioned, neither too light nor too heavy, and the body is in good proportions. Eyes: Of average size, full of intelligence and expression, extremely cheerful, but also radiating vitality, neither oversized nor sunken. The eyes are almond-shaped and not round. The preferred face color is dark brown. Light yellow eyes are dull and defective. It is a disadvantage to be too close to the eyes. Blue-grey eyes or rings of color within the eyes are a disqualification. Ears: Broad and set fairly high, lying flat and never hanging over the head. Their position should be higher than the level of the eyes. When the ears lie flat forward, they are not pulled by any force and naturally extend to the corners of the mouth. If it is a heavier dog, the ears will be longer accordingly. Ears that are too long or too thick are a fault. Skull: Excessively broad, slightly arched at the sides and slightly rounded at the top. Unlike the Pointer Dog (Pointer Dog), the core line on the forehead and between the eyes is not deep, and the occipital bone is not obvious. The front face gradually rises from the nose to the forehead. This increase was more pronounced and exceeded in males than in females. The jaws are rich, powerful and extremely muscular. On the gradually rising line of the forehead target, there is not a clear stop like the warning dog, butViewed from the side, there is a stop effect, mainly caused by eyebrows. Muzzle: Extraordinarily long, enabling him to catch prey and control it for a long time. A tone like that of a warning dog is inappropriate for pleading. Depth is the exact ratio to length, whether for the tone or the skull. The length of the breath is about ten times the length of the skull. A dish-like tone is a drawback. Nose: Brown, the bigger the better, the nostrils are wide and open. A nose with freckles is not necessary. A flesh-colored nose is a disqualification. The slightly overhanging nose suddenly broke off. The lips are full and deep, but the upper lip does not droop. Teeth: Rich and heavy. The molar joint is outstanding. The bite is a true scissors bite, a pincer bite is a fault. An overbite of the upper jaw or an overbite of the lower jaw is a disqualification.
Neck, topline, body
The neck is long enough to allow the jaws to spread out and retrieve prey, tilting downward to create a beautiful arc. . The muscles in the nape of the neck are developed and gradually become thicker towards the shoulders. Excessive fat is allowed. Skin-tight and next-to-skin. The image of breasts is often one of depth rather than width; all breasts are in exact proportion to the rest of the body. The chest extends to the elbows, and the ribcage is supported by the ribs. The ribs are well supported and do not appear flat or dull; but at the same time they are not too arched or barrel-shaped. The ribs on the opposite side also stretch downward. The ribcage close to the back of the elbow should be smaller than the ribcage one palm width away from the elbow, so that there is enough room for the upper arms to circulate. The lift is obvious. Back: Short, healthy, and straight, rising slightly from base of tail to withers. The waist is rich, of medium length and slightly arched. Overly long, arched, swaying back is a fault. The buttocks are broad and the hip socket is wide, falling slightly toward the tail in a beautiful arc. The steep hips are higher than the shortcomings. Tail: set high and firm, must be docked, about 40% of the total length. When the dog is at rest, the tail hangs downward; when moving, the tail remains horizontal and cannot be raised above the back (towards the head). It is a serious fault if the tail is raised or bent toward the head.
Forequarters
Shoulders: Sloping, agile, muscular. The shoulder blades lie flat and tilted back at an angle of about 45 degrees. Upper arm (the bone between the shoulder blade and elbow joint): as long as possible, a little close to the torso when standing, so the legs are straight, close together and muscular, and when viewed from the side, they appear parallel to each other. When standing, if the elbow is close to the body or too close, it will cause the toes to bend inward or outward, so it is a fault. Pasterns are rich, short, and exceptionally slightly skewed, almost straight. Looseness, short shoulder blades or too straight shoulder blades are all faults. Exceeding the joints is also a disadvantage. The dewclaws on the forelimbs can be removed. Feet: Tight, close together, ranging from round to spoon-shaped in shape. The toes are arched and the nails are heavy. The pads are rich, crunchy and rich.
Hindquarters
The thighs are rich and muscular. Excessive bending of the knee joint. The angle of the hock joint is prominent, and the bone from the hock to the padThe bones are rich and straight. The angle of the knee joint and hock joint can achieve the best and stable driving force and traction. Hocks turn neither in nor out. Beef limbs are a serious fault.
Coat
The coat is probably brown, light brown, dark bell, white, or black. Brown, white, and yellow mixed hairs are allowed. The hair is short and thick, and feels brittle and hard to the touch; the hair under the tail and on the back edge of the buttocks is somewhat long. The hair on the head and ears is soft, thin and slightly short. All dogs with long coats on the body are seriously faulty.
Color
The color of the coat may be pure liver color or a combination of liver color and white, such as white and liver spots, liver patches and white spots, liver color Miscellaneous hair.
Gait
A smooth, supple gait is a well-known gait that gradually accelerates from a pace to a gallop, tending to a simple trajectory is the ideal situation. One leg is brought together under the body, stretched forward, close to the ground without a horse stance (raising the leg very high). Hindquarter drive is strong and stable.
Temperament
The German Shorthaired Pointing Dog is a kind, intelligent, and helpful dog. The first impression given to people is that of loyalty and eagerness to work, without any sign of intention to escape.
Disqualification
Blue-grey eyes or color rings within the eyes. Flesh colored nose. An overbite with the upper jaw or an overbite with the lower jaw. There are black, red, orange, lemon, brown, and white dogs in all regions.
