The wire-haired Pointing Griffon is medium sized, with a noble, square-shaped head. It was bred to cover all terrain encountered by the walking hunterand moves easy with catlike gracefulness. It excels equally as a pointer in the field, or a retriever in the water. It's coat is hard and coarse, never curly or woolly, with a thick undercoat of fine hair, giving an unkempt appearance.His easy trainability, devotion to family, and friendly temperament endear him to all. The Wirehaired Pointing Griffon is an intelligent dog who is very willing to please. They are outgoing dogs who are loyal and trustworthy. The nickname of "supreme gundog" is well earned.The origin of the Wirehaired Pointing Griffon is Dutch, however, it is regarded as a French breed. This is due to the fact that a major portion of the development of the breed took place in France. The Wirehaired Pointing Griffon is particularly adapted for swampy country, where its harsh coat is excellent protection.
