Overview: | A well proportioned dog whose body shows power and also the ability to develop the necessary speed for a gundog. He is of heavier build than the Small M'nsterl'nder, his confrontation more like the Long-haired German Pointer; he differs from the latter mainly in the head which is shorter. The foreface is blunter and looks finer due to the dry lips, which makes the whole picture of the head less heavy than the Long-haired German Pointer's head. His body is slightly longer than his height at the withers, thus appearing slightly elongated. The coat, though not really long on the body, looks like a long coat because of the well coated ears and the tail, the somewhat richer coat on neck and chest and the feathered ears, front and hind legs and the richly feathered tail. |
