- Solid coat with very extended or invasive white patches, sometimes ticked, with all the nuances of pale to vivid orangy fawn and slight brown
“Stable and sociable with humans and other dogs. Adapted to all types of hunting, he is resistant, docile, and easy to train”
Quoted from FCI standard n°177. It describes the breed the registry recognises, not any individual animal.
Nobody has written this side yet. It is a judgement rather than data, so it waits for a person — not for a missing source.
Drawn from sources, not opinion: FCI breed standard. An empty column means we hold nothing for that side, not that there is nothing to say.
What a judge marks the Ariege Pointing Dog down for, and what puts one out of the ring, in the registry’s own words. This describes the breed standard — it is not a checklist for the animal in front of you, and a pet with a disqualifying fault is an unshowable dog rather than an unhealthy one.
Puts an animal out of the ring altogether.
The Ariege Pointing Dog standard is published by the FCI (Fédération Cynologique Internationale), the international federation of pedigree-dog clubs, and it is what show judges apply. This section sums up what it says about coat and colour and size. It does not assess any one animal: use it to know what to ask the breeder.
Short, rather thick and well provided, glossy, finer and smooth on the head and the leathers
Shortened from FCI standard n°177 — each label is the standard’s own wording with the verdict lifted into the tag beside it. Read the full clause at source.
The colours and patterns the standard admits, and what it prefers, discourages or disqualifies in each. An accepted colour says nothing about health.

An adult's measurements, per the standard. It does not say how big this puppy will be. Quotations from the FCI are in English, as the standard publishes them; the headings are ours.
Breed-level information from The Dog API. It describes the Ariege Pointing Dog in general; any individual animal can differ.
No breed-specific health panel has been written up for the Ariege Pointing Dog on this platform yet. That is a gap in our records, not a clean bill of health — ask the breeder which hereditary conditions their lines are tested for, and ask to see the results for both parents, dated and from a named laboratory.
