Slovensky hrubosrsty stavac is rather a rare breed (FCI Standard nr. 320, Group 7 - Pointers). I've got this b/w picture from the breeding adviser in Slovakia Mr. Bohuslav Zemko. Stavac, as Cesky Fousek, occurs in two colours: Weimaraner grey (picture) and white. Blood of Weimaraners en Cesky Fouseks is flowing through their veins. There is an SHS club in France. Does anybody own this breed outside Europe?
SHS belongs to a Continental wirehaired pointer family. It is a breed which was created on purpose between the 20s and the 70s of this century, as an experiment to recreate a breed which existed in Slovakia already in the 19th century. The FCI accepted the SHS Standard in 1982.
According to the Standard, the SHS is a middle-strong pointer of a working type; he has a noble stature, with a wirehaired silver-grey coat and is suitable for water, field and forest work. He is good at tracking down shot game, but he is also a good retriever.
