About
The German Wirehaired Pointer traces to the late 19th century and was systematically bred in the 20th century on the principle that performance determines type, combining the best rough-coated stock with German Shorthaired Pointer blood. The result is a noble, weatherproof gun dog able to work field, forest and water alike, now one of the most popular large gun dogs worldwide. Determined, self-controlled and balanced, it needs generous daily exercise, while its harsh wire coat is easy to maintain.
