| Deutsch Kurzhaar
 The
Deutsch Kurzhaar is another product of nineteenth century Germany.
As the dog intended for the "common man" the Deutsch Kurzhaar is a
versatile hunting dog with natural pointing, tracking and retrieving
instincts. The Kurzhaar is descended from the Spanish Pointer,
certain German tracking hounds, the English Foxhound, and eventually
the English Pointer. The main difference between the Kurzhaar
and the German Shorthair has to do with registry and testing
criteria.
The Kurzhaar is an intelligent and
affectionate family dog and a tireless companion in the field. They usually measure between 21 and 25 inches and
traditionally weigh between 45 to 70 pounds. They are a sturdy dog,
lean and muscular. Traditional colors include solid liver, or a
combination of liver and white or roan. Their coat is short, thick
and hard to the touch, making it an excellent insulator for water
and cold.
