History & Origins
Developed in Slovakia after World War II in the 1950s by crossing German Wirehaired Pointers, Weimaraners, and Cesky Fousek with local hunting dogs. The goal was to create a versatile, durable gundog capable of pointing, tracking, and retrieving on land and in water. Officially recognized by the FCI in 1983.
