WIREHAIRED POINTING GRIFFON

History - The wirehaired pointing griffon was developed in France by a Dutchman, Eduard K. Korthals, in the 1870s for pointing and retrieving in all types of weather and rough terrain. 

Temperament - Wirehaired pointing griffons are gentle, responsive, and obedient but need early socialization and obedience training to prevent timidity.  They are respectful with strangers and easygoing with most other dogs, but they like to chase cats.  The griffon’s temperament is best suited to an adult home in the country.  Its reputation as a supreme hunting dog is well earned.

Upkeep - Wirehaired pointing griffons need to be brushed and combed weekly.  If this country dog does not get an enormous amount of exercise, behavior problems, such as excessive barking and house destruction, may occur.

Size - height 20-24 inches, height 45-60 pounds.
