Wirehaired Pointing Griffon

Good to know

• Versatile gun dog: developed in the 1800s by Eduard Korthals to point and retrieve on land and in water, they work close to the hunter.
• Water lovers: their harsh, weather-resistant coat and enthusiasm make them keen swimmers and retrievers.
• Rugged coat: the wiry double coat sheds little but needs regular brushing and occasional stripping of dead hair.
• Family-focused: friendly and eager to please, they want to be with their people and dislike being left out.
• Active minds: they need daily exercise and mental work, such as field training, tracking or dog sports.

Getting out with a Wirehaired Pointing Griffon

They need daily exercise beyond a stroll: longer trails, games of fetch and time to run at the park.
