Wirehaired Pointing Griffon Dogs

The Wirehaired Pointing Griffon is a gundog developed by Eduard Karel Korthals in 1873. It is Dutch in origin, but is regarded as a French breed because a major portion of the breed's development took place in France. The history of the breed can be read here (Source: AWPGA).
The Wirehaired Pointing Griffon is particularly adapted for swampy country, where its harsh coat is excellent protection.(Wikipedia)
