History of the Deutsch Langhaar

The Deutsch Langhaar combines the bloodlines of a bird-, hawk- and water dog as well as of Bracken (Scenthounds). The DL therefore has scope for great versatility. Pure breeding has been carried out since 1879 and the main characteristics of the breed laid down. In the year 1897, Baron von Schorlemer set down the first standard for the Deutsch Langhaar and thus laid the foundation stone for today’s pure breeding.
