About

What is a German Spaniel?

Medium-sized, muscular hunting spaniel known as the Deutscher Wachtelhund in its native Germany, with a dense wavy double coat featuring feathering and strong tracking abilities developed for versatile forest hunting

German Spaniel history and origins

Developed in Germany in the 1890s from older German landrace dogs known as Stöberhund, crossing various spaniels to create a versatile hunting dog capable of tracking, flushing, and retrieving game in dense forests and water. FCI-recognized and bred primarily for hunting ability and versatility rather than appearance.

German Spaniel appearance and size

Males typically stand 47-55 cm at the shoulder and females 44-52 cm.

Pros & cons

Prós e contras da raça German Spaniel

O que ganha com a raça German Spaniel

  • Função declarada no padrão: «Flushing Dog, versatile hunting dog»
  • O padrão descreve a raça assim: «Lively, passionate hunter, friendly, assured, very docile and adaptable, neither nervous nor aggressive»

O que tem de assumir

  • Exige muitos cuidados com o pelo — a descrição do próprio padrão é «Frequently frill on neck (jabot). Also well coated on belly.»

Retirado de fontes e não escrito como opinião — investigação de saúde citada, o padrão do próprio registo, e estudos de longevidade revistos por pares. Padrão da raça, FCI. Os animais de um criador podem diferir de tudo isto, e uma coluna vazia significa que não temos nada desse lado, não que não haja nada a dizer.

Characteristics

Padrão da FCI · German Spaniel

Pelo e cor

Tal como o padrão da FCI o estabelece. Cada linha abaixo está nas palavras do próprio padrão.

Coat

Strong, close fitting, mostly wavy, sometimes curly (astrakhan) or smooth long coat, with thick undercoat.

Hair not too long, much less thin or even silky.

On nape, leathers and croup, often curly.

Rearside of legs and tail, well feathered.

Frequently frill on neck (jabot).

Also well coated on belly.

Muzzle and cranial region: Hair short but dense.

The leathers are covered by curls or dense wavy hair which also reaches beyond their inner edge.

Interdigital gaps have dense but not too long hair

Cor

  • Preferred
  • Permissible
  • Undesirable
  • Disqualifying

«Preferred», «permissible», «undesirable» e «disqualifying» — preferida, admissível, indesejável e desqualificante — são as palavras da própria FCI sobre a raça, e ficam em inglês porque é assim que constam do padrão. Descrevem o que o padrão exige — não são uma avaliação de nenhum cão em concreto, nem nossa.

  • The German Spaniel is bred in two colour varieties: • Solid brown, and more seldom also red*, including all occurring reddish shades (like fox or deer red).
  • Often with white or ticked markings on chest and toes. • Brown roan, more seldom red* roan
  • As basic colour, brown or red* hair is closely mixed with white hair.
  • Often with the head brown or red*, as well as with patches or a saddle over the whole back.
  • To this colour variety also belong the pied colour patterns with white as basic colour and large brown or red* patches as well as « tiger » pattern where the white basic colour is in addition sprinkled or ticked with clusters of brown or red* hair, even when bred from solid colour parents.
  • In both colours, red* markings (« Brand ») over eyes, on muzzle, legs and round vent can occur. * Red = all existing reddish shades (fox, roedeer or deer red)

Resumido de FCI standard n°104 — cada etiqueta está nas palavras do próprio padrão, com o veredito passado para a etiqueta ao lado. Leia a cláusula completa na fonte.

O que o padrão penaliza

Aquilo que faz um juiz descontar pontos à raça German Spaniel, e o que a põe fora do ring, nas palavras do próprio registo. Isto descreve o padrão da raça — não é uma lista de verificação para o animal que tem à frente, e um animal de companhia com um defeito desqualificante é um cão que não pode ir a exposição, não um cão doente.

Defeitos graves

Contam fortemente contra um exemplar no ring.

  • Skins problems: Dermatitis, atopy.
  • Missing teeth, apart from the lack of one PM1

Defeitos desqualificantes

Põem o animal fora do ring por completo.

  • Weak temperament, gun-or game-shy.
  • Serious mouth faults (over-or undershot, wry mouth).
  • Entropion, ectropion.
  • Black coat colour

FCI standard n°104

Health guide

What to ask for in a German Spaniel

No breed-specific health panel has been written up for the German Spaniel 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.

Puppies

No puppies listed right now

No German Spaniel breeder has a record on this platform yet, so there is nothing to list. That is a gap in our coverage, not a fact about the breed.
