The Stichelhaar is a medium sized dog, weighing around 44 pounds. They are 24–26 inches around the withers. The eyes are oval and chestnut colored and the ears are flat against the head. They may have brown, white, mixed or chestnut coloring. Their coat is 11⁄2 inches long and bristly.[1]
Stichelhaars are tough and very dominant. They are very aggressive towards strangers and will accept only one master. This breed has not become popular because of a tendency to bite. They are better outdoor dogs.[1]
