Wirehaired Pointing GriffonIn Europe this dog is still known as the Korthals Griffon. The Wirehaired Pointed Griffon is an excellent family dog who is trustworthy and has a tremendous willingness to please.

Easy to train, they make a wonderful pet for a strong confident owner. They exhibit pointer-like behavior with a terrier-like attitude. This is a pleasant companion and a skillful, multipurpose hunting dog.

Developed by Edward K. Korthals from Holland in the late nineteenth century, it is listed as a French breed. Korthal started with a female who was a Griffon of Barbet origins and crossed her with various Small Munsterlanders and various setters and pointers.

Developed to be a methodical close worker in all types of terrain, they filled the need for a versatile hunter that could point and retrieve.
