(Slovenský hrubosrstý Stavač) The Slovak Rough-haired Pointer is a gundog breed developed after World War II in Slovakia.

[4] Despite the nearly identical names, the SRHP is not the same as the Wirehaired Pointing Griffon, a smaller but similar breed with a slightly longer coat developed for essentially the same purposes by the Dutch and now most common in France.

[1] The developer, Koloman Slimak, wanted a dog with great stamina which would track, point, retrieve in water or land, and be suitable for a range of prey from birds, hares and other small animals, and large game up to the size of deer.

It is not yet recognized by the AKC in the U.S. First introduced into the United Kingdom in 1997,[6] they were featured in a "meet the breed" segment of the 2007 broadcast of the famed Crufts dog show in Britain.

[8] With a body type much like the three breeds from which its foundation stock was derived, the SRHP has an intelligent, alert expression and a "rough" or "broken" coat, with harsh, wiry hair and whiskers ("facial furnishings" or, informally, "moustaches") like those of the German Wirehaired Pointer or the Cesky Fousek.
