Extreme Dog Breeds: Wirehaired Pointing Griffon

Much speculation is given as to which other breeds contributed to Korthals' line.
. . .
German Shorthaired Pointer Country of origin Germany The  German shorthaired pointer  (GSP) is a  breed  of dog developed in the 19th century in Germa...
. . .
In any event, the resulting offspring (Moustache I, Lina, and Querida) are referred to as the "Korthals Patriarchs" because they are the Griffon's direct ancestors.[3] However, these dogs still looked very different from today's modern Griffon.
. . .
Appearance The Wirehaired Pointing Griffon is a medium-sized dog with a harsh, wiry coat.
. . .
The Griffon should have flat ears that lie close to the head, and eyes that are either yellow or brown.
. . .
It was there for over twenty years that Korthals dedicated his life to the development and perfection of the Wirehaired Pointing Griffon.

Wirehaired Pointing Griffon Dog Breed Profile Information ...

Temperament is affected by a number of factors, including heredity, training, and socialization.
. . .
The preferred coat is a steel gray color with chestnut brown or roan markings.
. . .
As with every breed, you should always teach children how to approach and touch dogs, and always supervise any interactions between dogs and young children to prevent any biting or ear or tail pulling on the part of either party.
. . .
Socialization should also start as soon as vaccinations are complete, since Griffons--though not generally aggressive--can sometimes be high-strung or nervous around new people, dogs, and situations.
. . .
(X-ray screening is the most certain way to diagnose the problem.) Either way, arthritis can develop as the dog ages.
. . .
However, shedding does vary greatly among the breeds: Some dogs shed year-round, some "blow" seasonally -- produce a snowstorm of loose hair -- some do both, and some shed hardly at all.

Wirehaired Pointing Griffon : Dog Breed Selector : Animal Planet

The first show classes for the breed were offered in 1888 in England, although at that time it was referred to as a Russian setter or retriever (apparently any well-furred dog was assumed to be of Siberian origin).
. . .
He began his mission in 1874, crossing 20 dogs representing seven breeds (griffon, spaniel, water spaniel, German and French pointer, and setter).
. . .
It can live outdoors in temperate weather as long as it has warm shelter, but it does best when allowed to be both an indoor and outdoor dog.
. . .
After the war, its reputation as an ideal dog for the walking hunter again gained it new popularity, but the initiation of competitive field trials, in which faster- paced breeds dominated, caused many competitive hunters to turn away from the griffon.
. . .
Its popularity grew steadily, only to be halted by the Second World War.
. . .
It functions as both a retriever and pointer, and its size and conformation reflects a compromise between the requirements of these jobs.
