German Wirehaired Pointer Information


 German Wirehaired Pointer

There were a wide variety of retrieving pointers, all of which were more or less interbred. The early Deutsch-Drahthaar Club at first catered to all varieties of Wirehaired pointing dogs. Over time, they thought it was best to seperate their activities into four subdivisions catering to the advancement of the breeds.

Most of the early Wirehaired Pointers represented a combination of Wirehaired Pointing Griffon, Stichelhaar, Pudelpointer and German Shorthaired Pointer. The Pudlepointer was a cross between a Poodle and English Pointer, while the Wirehaired Pointing Griffon and the Stichelhaar were composed of English Pointer, Foxhound, Pudelpointer, and Polish Water Dog. There were great hunting skills that were built into the Wirehaired Pointers.

Throughout the development of the breed, there has always been an emphasis on coat. Their coat is weather resistant and water repellant. It is straight, wiry, harsh and flat. Their coats should be brushed twice a week, and some hairs should be hand plucked depending on the condition of the coat. Coloring can be liver and white, usually either liver and white spotted, liver roan, liver and white spotted with ticking and roaning or solid liver.

The German Wirehaired Pointer needs daily exercise to prevent them from being restless indoors. They are more than a match for very active families and should not be taken on as a family pet unless they can guarantee vigorous exercise.

German Wirehaired Pointers can be very aloof with strangers, and if approached too quickly and reached for, they may bite. They are not like Labrador Retrievers who easily welcome anyone to pet them, you must earn their trust.

This dog is extremely energetic and tireless. It is very important that it gets daily vigorous exercise to prevent extreme indoor restlessness. This breed is more than a match for even the most active family and they should not be taken on as a family pet unless they can guarantee plenty of vigorous exercise. They are excellent jogging companions and love to swim and retrieve.
