history

There were many types of raw hair pointers in the early 19th century around Germany, with minimal attempts to standardize them as races. The word stichelhaireger in the race name translates as picked ears that represent this blood at some stage of the evolution of German Roughhaired Pointer's ancient German shepherd dog blood. The Roughhaired Pointer was saved by the efforts of one breeder almost extinct by the middle of the century and in the second part of the century there were significant attempts to standardize the type and it was acknowledged to be a district breed at end of the century.
