Description
With up to 57 cm, it is a medium sized hunting dog with " blue " coat and lohfarbenem fire. The "blue" color effect is created by the black and white stippling that produces the overall picture a bluish- gray color shimmer. The hair is rough and short, by the coarser fur that color, however, is not as clear as in dogs, where the fur is short and close fitting. Also black / white mottling is possible. The medium-sized drop ears are set low, flat and hairy thin.
