A well proportioned dog whose body shows power and also the ability to develop the necessary speed for a gundog. He is of heavier build than the Small Münsterländer, his confrontation more like the Long-haired German Pointer; he differs from the latter mainly in the head which is shorter. The foreface is blunter and looks finer due to the dry lips, which makes the whole picture of the head less heavy than the Long-haired German Pointer's head. His body is slightly longer than his height at the withers, thus appearing slightly elongated. The coat, though not really long on the body, looks like a long coat because of the well coated ears and the tail, the somewhat richer coat on neck and chest and the feathered ears, front and hind legs and the richly feathered tail.

By nature obedient, loyal and intelligent which makes him a valuable companion of the hunter as wall as a highly esteemd family pet dog.

Dense, well covering the body. Not curly-haired. The coat is not really long, but gives the impression as there is long hair in different parts. On the neck and the forechest where some other breeds have a mane, the hair is longer; on the ears there is long, wavy hair. The ears, the backside of fore-and hindlegs, the back of the thighs and the tail are feathered. Feet with dense hair between the toes. White with brown or orange markings, tricoloured (with tan) allowed. Less desired, but still admissible is a mantle in these colours.
