History & Origins
Ancient Danish hunting breed also known as Gammel Dansk Hønsehund, dating back to around 1710. Developed by crossing local Danish farm dogs with Spanish Pointers and scenthounds to create a versatile, steady gundog with endurance for varied terrain. Nearly extinct after WWII but preserved by dedicated breeders.
