The German Longhaired Pointer or Deutsch Langhaar is a German breed of gundog of pointer type. It is closely related to the other German pointer breeds, the German Shorthaired Pointer, the German Wirehaired Pointer and the Large Münsterländer. It was definitively accepted by the Fédération Cynologique Internationale in 1954.[2]Template:R/superscript

History

In an illustration from 1890

The German Longhaired Pointer was developed in Germany for use as a pointer. Selective breeding began in 1879; breed standards drawn up by the Template:Langr of Hannover were not found satisfactory, and in 1893 a breed association – the Template:Langr – was established by Friedrich von Schorlemer-Alst, who in 1897 drew up the breed standard on which the modern Langhaar is based.[3]Template:R/superscript[4]Template:R/superscript

It was definitively accepted by the Fédération Cynologique Internationale in 1954.[2]Template:R/superscript

In the fifteen years from 2010 to 2024, the annual number of new registrations in Germany averaged about 509, with a low of 352 and a high of 587; the total number of registrations in the period was 7632, or about 0.68% of the total of 1127154 registrations.[5]Template:R/superscript
