Basic Description: BRIEF HISTORICAL SUMMARY: This dog of ancient Italian origin used for bird hunting has modelled itself and developed
over the ages; from the hunting of yesteryear by means of nets, he has adapted himself to the present hunting and shooting. Frescoes from the
14th century are proof of the indisputable timelessness of the Italian pointer over the centuries, whether either regarding his morphology or his
aptitudes at hunting as a pointing dog.
GENERAL APPEARANCE: Of strong and harmonious construction, powerful appearance. The preferred subjects are those with lean limbs, well
developed muscles, well defined lines with a markedly sculpted head and a very obvious lower orbital chiselling, elements which all contribute to
give distinction to this breed.
IMPORTANT PROPORTIONS: Length of the body is the same or a little more than the height at the withers. Length of head is equal to 4/10 of the
height at the withers; its width, measured at the level of the zygomatic arches, is less than half its length. Skull and muzzle are of equal length.
