Portuguese Pointer
A Portuguese Pointer, (Portuguese: Perdigueiro Português) is a breed of dog developed as a gun dog. It is one of several pointing breeds and is mainly used in grey partridge hunting.
Appearance and Size
The Portuguese Pointer is a dog 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 penalised according to the amount that they interfere with working ability. It 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. [Coat and colour The coat is short and coarse on most of the dog, being the texture of velvet on the ears and face. Its standard colour is yellow or light brown, both unicoloured or with white markings. Size The height at the withers is 56 - 50 cm (22 - 20 in). The weight is 20 - 27 kg (44 - 59 lb) for males, and 16 - 21 kg (35 - 48 lb) for females.
