Portuguese Pointer

The Portuguese Pointing Dog or Perdigueiro Português is a Portuguese breed of pointer dog. It is one of several pointing breeds and is mainly used in red-legged partridge hunting.

The first breed standard for the Perdiguero was drawn up in 1939. The breed was definitively accepted by the Fédération Cynologique Internationale in 1955. In 2006 there were 1805 bitches registered in the stud-book.

The Perdiguero is of medium size: height at the withers is in the range 54–60 cm (21–24 in) for dogs and 50–56 cm (20–22 in) for bitches; body weights are in the ranges 20–27 kg (44–60 lb) and 16–22 kg (35–49 lb) respectively.

The coat is without undercoat; it is short, close and coarse on most parts of the dog, thinner around the natural openings and thinner and softer on the ears and head. It is yellow, ranging from light to dark, with or without white markings on the head and neck, the chest, the lower legs and the tip of the tail.
