Breed sets the odds. The parents set the dog. Every number here shows its source, its spread and how sure we are. Nothing on this page is a prediction about one dog.
The body
What the breed is built like. Registry standards give an ideal, not a range.
Height at the shoulder
FCI and UKC print slightly different ideals (20.9 and 21 in), so no center.
Weight
Single editorial source (Wikipedia, which cites the breed standard); no registry prints a weight.
Coat
Not a double coat in any source read.
Heat tolerance
Derived from the coat description (short-to-medium single close coat; no undercoat described = 5). No measured data.
The dog at home
What the breed asks of a day. The first thing most homes get wrong.
Energy
No energy score from AKC or RKC; text only.
The work
What it was built to do in the field, and what a test or trial asks of it.
Role
FCI, UKC and SKK agree. Editorial views are shown beside the standard, labelled; where they disagree both stand (Chad, Oct 8 2026).
Primary game
All sources agree.
Also used on
Row records the negative so the filter does not infer deer work.
Search pattern
FCI states 'not a pack hound, nor hunted in couples'. SKK says the driving style is careful on the track; the type of voice is not described beyond 'good'. Editorial views are shown beside the standard, labelled; where they disagree both stand (Chad, Oct 8 2026).
How common the problems are
Evaluated dogs skew toward breeding stock; the numbers are still the best there are.
Most common disorders
Breed-guide statements, no screening figure read.
How to read this page
Every value carries a label. Measured means peer-reviewed data on many dogs. Studied means peer-reviewed, smaller or indirect. Breed club means a club or registry states it. Editorial means expert opinion with no measurement behind it. Where two good sources disagree, both are shown and neither is averaged.
Published when the entry rests on the best information available from no fewer than three independent sources, checked by a second pass that did not write it. 3 sources on this page. Found something wrong? Tell us and the correction is logged with its date.
