Saint-Germain Pointer

Believed to had been around during the rule of King Louis XV, the Braque St.Germain is a valued French gundog. Not many of the original Saint-Germain Pointers have survived the French Revolution, but the breed was revived through crossings with the English Pointer, as well as a variety of suitable Gascony hounds in the 1800's. Usually employed to point and retrieve game on dry land, the modern Saint-ermain Pointer is also a popular gundog and a common family companion. This is generally a calm and reliable breed, but it needs early socialization and gentle handling, due to its somewhat skittish personality. The Saint-Germain Pointer's legs are long and stable, its neck is strong and the body is lean and muscled.

The coat is short, smooth and flat, always white with patches of fawn or orange shades. Average height is around 23 inches.
