A successful result of a quest to create a versatile hunting dog, the German Wirehaired Pointer is a breed that can locate and point upland game, confront vermin, retrieve waterfowl from water or land, and track wounded game. It also makes a wonderful companion and serves as a watchdog. The descendent of the pudelpointer (a combination of the old German pudel and the pointer), the German wirehaired pointer resulted from a cross with the early German shorthaired pointer, the griffon, the stichelhaar and the Polish water dog. Some claim that it may also have descended from the poodle, foxhound, bloodhound, and terrier. In Germany it is known as the drahthaar, and it has become the most popular hunting breed there......
