Old Danish Pointer Dog

Dogs of the "Gammel Dansk Hnsehund" breed are commonly referred to as "Old Danish Pointers" outside of Denmark. The title "Old Danish Pointer" is not as often used as the other names for this breed, but it should be noted that the breed is also known as the "Old Danish Bird Dog."
- When it comes to hunting, the Old Danish Pointer is unrivaled in its ability to point and retrieve game birds. It stands out due to its short, dense coat, which is often liver or yellow in color with white markings, and muscular, athletic frame.
- During the 18th century, these dogs were bred in Denmark with the specific goal of assisting hunters by pointing and recovering game birds. Famous for their excellent smell and the "point" they can maintain when they find game, pointing dogs let hunters get close enough to the birds to flush them out.
- The Old Danish Pointer may not have the same name recognition as the German Shorthaired Pointer or the English Pointer, but it is highly regarded in the hunting community and among traditional hunting-dog aficionados. These canines are revered for their steadfastness, wit, and hunting prowess.
