Where Every Paw Feels at Home.
Also known as Slovak Wirehaired Pointer, Slovensky Hrubosrsty Stavac
A tireless wire-coated all-round gundog with a steady head
This Slovak all-round gundog points, tracks and retrieves in rough weather and dense cover. It is loyal, keen and reserved with strangers, and it needs a genuine job or plenty of outdoor work to stay balanced.

This breed needs about 120 minutes of activity a day. Around 7 sitter-led sessions a week keeps that routine going when work or travel gets in the way.

Best-matched service
Around two hours a day for an adult, with off-lead running in a safe place and some mental work such as scent games or retrieving.
It is a poor match. These dogs are bred for open country and long working days, and they do best in a house with a secure garden and an active household.
Only for a very active, committed beginner. They are intelligent and willing but strong-minded, and they need consistent training and lots of outdoor time.
