Overview: | Hertha was bred to "Sport", who was a Pointer from the Duke's breeding, and the results of this pairing were the wellspring of the Hertha Pointer breed. For many years, hunters fostered the "Hertha dog" or "Hertha hound." Soon a breed club was formed, predating the Danish Kennel Club by 54 years (they changed the name to Hertha Pointer, which may have been an unforeseen mistake), and these dogs became common throughout Denmark. A standard has been in effect since 1897, and photos and description were included in the 1902 edition of Henri de Bylandt's book Les Races de Chien. |
