HISTORY

A combination of a number of German dogs, the German Wirehaired Pointer came into existence at the turn of the 20th century. A mix of Griffon, Pointer, Poodle, Foxhound, and Bloodhound, the German Wirehaired Pointer was created to be a more versatile hunting dog. Their unique look was cultivated to help this breed withstand the icy winters and freezing lakes of Germany, making them extremely useful in the field. They are a fearless hunter, retriever, pointer, and watchdog, as well as a superb companion.
