The Deutscher Wachtelhund is a medium-sized, longhaired, very muscular gun dog with a noble head and strong bone. Their keen hunting desire and ability make it an ideal dog for hunters and because of their innate love of water, they are often used to hunt waterfowl. The Deutscher Wachtelhund’s name, German quail dog, relates to its ability as an upland bird flusher and is also known as the German Spaniel.
