Developed in 19th-century Germany to do it all (and do it all well), this dog features everything from the Griffon to the Pudelpointer and German Shorthair in its bloodline."This breed excels at both upland game bird hunting and waterfowl retrieval, with a strong prey drive and a distinctive wiry coat that helps them navigate tough terrain," notes Nicole. "German Wirehaired Pointers are versatile, intelligent, and independent, often working well alongside hunters in diverse environments. They are known and loved for being loyal and protective."
