The GLP is without doubt the most successfull addition to the HPR sub-group both in the ring and the field.

The breed is rapidly becoming known as the most stylish of all HPR's in both looks and ability which have been proven by consistent successes in all spheres.

Bred from the Spanish Falcon Dog ( Espaignolz) the Stober Dog and Scent Hounds, the FCI classification is Vorstehhund or Pointing dog (Spaniel Type). Introduced into the UK in the early 1990's there are now about 200 born over here.Full breed recognition was approved in January 2006.

It is a noble dog, medium sized with substance.Ideal height is 64/66 cms for dogs and 60/63 cms for bitches Coat colours are brown (not liver), brown with a white chest, brown and white and white and brown. The ticking gene is present and is called schimmel which has various combinations, brown, dunkel, hell and forellen.The coat is thick with an undercoat which rapidly dries when wet. There is feathering on the chest and legs and the tail is heavily flagged and un-docked.

Bred for temperament and bidability the breed has retained all of it's hunting instincts so excercise and stimulation must be given priority.It's soft nature is ideal for children and it mixes freely with other dogs.

The breed's excellent manners and a craving for human companionship could allow it to adapt to a family environment provided a degree of basic training is installed.

It would be unfair to home this breed in a city.
