Fédération Cynologique Internationale (FCI)
The Fédération Cynologique Internationale is the dog breed registry for 83 countries around the world. While the
United States is not part of the FCI, it does include Portugal. The breed's parent club there, the Associação do
Perdigueiro Português, creates the conformation standard used in judging Portuguese pointers in FCI shows around
the world. The FCI standard is far more detailed than the UKC standard and as such is a more accurate and
valuable source for information on the breed's conformation ideal. Click above to see the FCI conformation
(morphology) standard for judging Portuguese pointers in FCI-sanctioned dog shows.

Associação do Perdigueiro Português (APP)
The Associação do Perdigueiro Português has also created a working standard for the Portuguese pointer. This
describes ideally how the breed should perform when hunting. A link to the Portuguese version of this standard can
be found by clicking above. We will be putting our translated version of the working standard here on our website
soon.
