    The Slovakian Rough Haired Pointer is an all round (HPR) gundog. The breed originated from Czechoslovakia after the second world war. It is an amalgamation of three breeds - the Ceskey Fousek (a type of griffon), the Weimaraner and the German Wirehaired Pointer. The breed is on the imported register at the Kennel Club (at the time of writing there are about 130 in the UK) and, as yet has no KC breed standard so cannot be shown here.(It will have to be Europe then!).

    Purdey is 11 months old. She is great fun. She is keen to please, affectionate, laid back, easy to train and has a sense of humour. She quite clearly "plays the fool" at times - delighting in the reaction she gets. She is also a tough, brave and energetic (but manageable) dog. Great fun and, importantly, Sarika's best mate. As with the HWVs I have no problem recommending the breed.

    Slovaks seem like nice dogs. First encountered the breed at the CLA Fair, Belvoir Castle back in 2005, again at the CLA down in Romsey last year and recently at the Dogs Day at Westonbirt Arboretum back in Feb.

    Whats the view of placing them in none shooting homes providing they are worked in some form?

    I've found my next breed :shock: :grin:

    I think they are adorable, but I expect they are very hard to find.

    Did you breed your girl David?

    And another Purdey pic, it is all in the eyes!

    and Max reckons that, as a bald bichon who knows some gundogs quite well, he deserves his place here too (this was taken a few months ago).

    :grin: Shes beautiful! The eyes look very 'Weimaranerish, is that just how it comes out in the pics or are they really like that? also the coat colour looks the same gunmetal colour. Its not a breed I have ever seen in real life but after seeing your girl I would love to meet one. Also a big fan of WHVs, saw a beautiful pair at a Champ show once and have never forgotten them, very striking!!!!! Definitely one I would like to own in the future

    Thanks for the pics, great to see them

    I have a slovakian rough haired pointer puppy, she is 12 weeks old, the pick of the litter & a real beautiful princess. I could be reluctantly looking for a good home for her soon, one of my other dogs will not take to her at all. She has her second injections tomorrow. I would only let her go to the right home.

    I think you probably need to let the breeder know of any issues and if you may need to part as I'm sure the breeder will happily take her back if pick of the litter etc. - or are you the breeder?

    Thank you for your post, no I am not the breeder. It was a stud fee situation so the breeder had to give the pick of the litter to the stud dog owner, who then sold her to me. I would want a good home from home situation, not for her to be put in a large kennel situation again. She is now used to home comforts & I think that would be detremental to her.

    Hello there

    Ive always found it take a while for dogs to integrate so dont worry too much at the moment. When I introduced my last Bracco pup into the pack they all absolutely hated her. She's settled in fine now and although the oldies cant be bothered at times with her, she is very happy and contented.

    This breed is absolutely beautiful. Its a breed that I'll be watching with interest in the future. They are simply stunning. I do hope you dont have to part with her.

    Kind regards

    I have a 12 year old Weimaraner, who is pack leader of the dogs. I have a Staffordshire Bull Terrier who is 6 years old & my S.R.H.P. puppy.

    I have had Weimaraners for 17 years & love the breed.
    The puppy is learning all the time, she is naturally a very respectful, submissive dog anyway which helps so much. She is also very quick to learn everything & so pretty.

    I was at a weim show on Sunday and there was a little Slovakian Rough Haired Pointer puppy there. She was absoutely adorable. 14 weeks old. I wonder if she is from the same litter.

    I was told that they will be going on to the Import Register in January when the Bracco and SWD comes off. Is that right? There is seemingly an Interim Breed Standard at the moment.

    This is definitely a breed worth watching. Absolutely stunning and this wee one had such a good nature. Although Stella my Bracco youngster told it off (unlike her!) because it was being too pushy. I thought the wee thing had been tortured!!!! I felt awful. All that Stella did was nudge it out the way!!!!

    Lovely dogs.
