however most-likely candidates for its ancestors include local German breeds such as other hunting dogs and scent hounds, the Bloodhound, the Foxhound, various French hounds, assorted Scandinavian breeds, the German Bird Dog, and the Italian Pointer.
At the time they were heavy-boned, but were later crossed with Italian Pointers. This gave the Pointer the more modern look that they display today.
