Stichelhaar

The Stichelhaar, or German Roughhaired Pointer, is a versatile hunting dog that originated in Frankfurt, Germany during the mid to late 19th century. In 1888, Hans Von Kadisch proved that the breed shares its ancestry with Old German Partridge dogs, rather than Shorthaired Pointers.

Widely regarded as the oldest of the German roughhaired pointers, the Stichelhaar is one of four breeds used in the development of the German Wirehaired Pointer.

Fairly rare outside of Germany, the first breed standard wasn’t published until 2001.
