CLASSIFICATION F.C.I. : Group     7    Pointing Dogs.

                                              With working trial.
The small size French Pointing Dogs « Pyrenean type » show, while keeping all proportions, with more reduced dimensions and lighter shapes, the same general characteristics as those of the « Gascogne type ».  They only differ on the following points :

GENERAL APPEARANCE : Rustic dog, not heavy but sufficiently muscled.  Skin tighter than that of the Gascogne type.

HEAD :
Nose : Chestnut-brown in colour, nostrils well opened.
Lips : The lips are less pendent or less convex than in the Gascogne type.
Leathers : Set on above eye line, barely folded.  The tips of the leathers must end at 2 cm from the nose leather.

NECK : Slight or no dewlap.

BELLY : Belly less let down than in the Gascogne type.

TAIL : Fine; can be docked or naturally short.

LIMBS

FOREQUARTERS : They are lighter than in the Gascogne type.
Shoulders : Muscular and moderately sloping.

HINDQUARTERS :
Feet : Tight.

HAIR : Finer and shorter than that of the Gascogne Type.

SIZE  : Male:               47 - 58 cm.
            Female :           47 - 56 cm.
The size of 50 to 55 cm is the one to aim for which covers the most numerous utilizations.

FAULTS : Any departure from the foregoing points should be considered a fault and the seriousness with which the fault should be regarded should be in exact proportion to its degree.

  • Dog too heavy or hyperlight.
  • Lips too droopy or too light.
  • Round eyes caused by the exaggeration of the zygomatic and superciliary arches.
  • Leathers set at eye level, too long (touching the nose).
  • Belly too tucked up (whippety).
  • Splayed feet.

ELIMINATING FAULTS :

  • Aggresive or overly shy.
  • Split nose, pronounced depigmentation of the nose leather.
  • Entropion, ectropion, pink spots at the base of the eyelids.
  • No tail (anury).
  • Syndactyly (toes grown together), surplus toes, absence of toes.

Any dog clearly showing physical or behavioural abnormalities shall be disqualified.

N.B. : Male animals should have two apparently normal testicles fully descended into the scrotum.
