This is surely the oldest of the European pointing breeds, as it was known by Pliny, Xenophon, Dante and Cellini. Bred to find game and point, he also retrieves. He is an elegant, vigorous dog with a long fast trot. His serious expression, long angular head with his pronounced arched eyebrows, can give him a comical look. In temperament they are thoughtful, docile, obedient but not excessively cheerful. The ears and lips are pendulous, though there should be no dewlap; the eyes are yellow or ochre depending on the coat. The tail is still docked to 6 to ten inches - 15-25cm). The hair is short close and fine.
Colours are solid white, white with orange, amber or chestnut markings, or white speckled with orange or chestnut.
