Description
Versatile medium to large German pointing and retrieving dog with distinctive black and white coat and feathering, known for its noble appearance and athletic build
History
Originated in the Münster region of Germany in the early 1900s, developed from the black and white offspring of German Longhaired Pointers and continental pointers and spaniels. When the German Longhaired Pointer standard was set to only allow liver and white, dedicated breeders preserved and developed the black and white variety into today's versatile hunting dog.
