German Wirehaired Pointing Dog
Other names: Deutsch Drahthaar, Drahthaar


Bred during the late 19th century, the German wirehaired pointer is a hardy, versatile working dog. He is a highly intelligent bred that responds well to the right kind of training methods. However, first-time owners may struggle to keep these independent animals focused. The German wirehaired pointer is very social and thrives off the company of other dogs and humans. This high-energy breed needs plenty of vigorous exercise and is better suited for owners with an active lifestyle and access to rural areas. Not really suited inner-city urban life.
