The Hertha Pointer is a dog breed from Denmark that is not recognized by the FCI .

The Hertha Pointer is a pointing dog . When the defeated Danish troops withdrew from the German-Danish war, these men were joined by an orange-red bitch of the pointer type. She got the name Hertha and turned out to be a good pointing dog. A hunter bought them and gave them away to a forester who oversaw the large forests in Jutland .

Another branch points to the Duke of Augustenburg, who was a contender for the Danish throne. He was known as a breeder of noble horses and English pointers , which were orange-red in color due to systematic inbreeding with small white markings. Many believed that the bitch Herta came straight from this kennel , but she did not match their typical appearance.

Herta was paired with a male, "Sport", from this kennel and formed her own breeding line. Many years before the Danish Kennel Club was founded, a breeding club was founded for the Hertha Pointer , and since 1897 there has been its own standard . The Danish Kennel Club has always refused to accept and recognize the Hertha Pointer for unclear reasons - for him it is just a color variant of the English Pointer.

The coat of the Hertha Pointer is short and fine, in yellow-orange with small white markings on the paws, chest and muzzle. The standard was revised in 1978 and submitted to the FCI for approval, this time the Danish Kennel Club resisted recognition .
