The Portuguese Pointer has a complete set of evenly spaced, white teeth meeting in a scissors bite. Overshot or undershot bite. The nose leather is black on dogs with darker coats and brown on dogs with lighter coats. Nostrils must be large and open. The eyes are large, oval, and brown in color.
Darker color is preferred.
They are set close to the surface and on a horizontal axis. Eyelids are tight with pigment to match the nose color. The bony arches over the eyes are well defined but should not be so excessive as to make the skull appear coarse. Expression is bright and intelligent. The ear leather is thin and the outer side is covered with short, silky hair.
