Males and females differ noticeably, with females lighter and more spirited.\n\nIt is a friendly family dog that is quiet indoors and active outdoors, as long as it gets enough exercise.","history":"The breed goes back to the 17th century and descends from the Spanish Pointer. The Danish name means Old Danish fowl dog and refers to its skill at pointing game birds of the pheasant family, not to chickens.\n\nIn April 2026 it was added to the American Kennel Club Foundation Stock Service.","appearance":"Powerful and substantial. Males stand about 54 to 60 cm and weigh 30 to 35 kg, while females are 50 to 56 cm and 26 to 31 kg. The coat is white with brown markings.","personality":"Quiet, stable and determined, with courage. In the field it works rather slowly, stays in contact with the hunter and points without disturbing the ground. At home it is friendly and calm.","care":"It needs regular, generous exercise and is not suited to flats or small yards. With enough activity it settles quietly in the house.\n\nThe short coat is easy to care for with occasional brushing."},"recognition":{"fci_number":281,"fci_standard_url":"https://www.fci.be/en/nomenclature/281.html","akc_url":null},"sources":{"wikipedia":"https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Old_Danish_Pointer","wikidata":"https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Q37494","wikipedia_revision":1350452861},"profile":{"written_by":"AI model (Claude Sonnet) from the sources above","written_at":"2026-10-15T13:59:38Z"}}}
