The Wachtelhund is somewhat like the German Setter in miniature and is
strongly built, notwithstanding his small size. The head is large and
long, skull slightly rounded and fairly broad. Muzzle of fair length and
narrow with the occipital bone and stop both well defined. The eyes are
dark in color, varying in shade with that of the coat and of medium
size. The ears are long compared with those of the German Setter, are
set on high and hang close to the head. The neck should be strong and
not throaty; chest deep, back straight, broad and muscular, and the
loins short and broad. He is strong and straight on the leg and the tail
is usually docked and well feathered. The coat is slightly wavy, fairly
long and very dense.
