Canis lupus familiaris Detailed Introduction

The German Shorthaired Pointer originated in the 18th century.

The German Wirehaired Pointer has a noble appearance and a strong body. It is divided into four types according to different activity characteristics: German Wirehaired Pointer, Curly-haired Pointer, Spiny-haired Pointer, and Griffon. Most of the early Wirehaired Pointers represent a collection of Griffons, Spiny-haired Pointers, Curly-haired Pointers, and German Wirehaired Pointers. The Curly-haired Pointer is a cross between a Poodle and an English Pointer, while the Griffon and the Spiny Dog are crosses between a Pointer, a Foxhound, a Curly-haired Pointer, and a Polish Water Dog.

The German Wirehaired Pointer is unique in that its hair is straight and coarse, and feels rough, and some people call it "wire-like". The hair is versatile, with a thick undercoat in winter to resist the cold, and a thin undercoat in summer to dissipate heat. In addition, it has a certain waterproof effect, and can basically adapt to any environment. The color of the German Wirehaired Pointer's hair is liver-colored and white. The head is usually liver-colored, sometimes with white streaks, and the ears are liver-colored.

The German Shorthaired Pointer is an all-purpose hound, a multi-purpose gun dog that can perform a variety of difficult tasks in water and on land. In judging the German Shorthaired Pointer at the show, consideration must be given to whether he reflects this basic character. The animal that appears to the observer is a noble, well-balanced, well-proportioned animal, whose overall structure indicates strength, endurance, agility, and a very intelligent appearance. It is neither too small nor too large. The impression given is of medium size, but very much like a strict hound, "short back, but with ample length when standing." Symmetry and field fitness are essential. Thus, a solid but lean dog is not to be penalized under field conditions; but in any case, excessive fatness or lack of muscle is to be penalized. A smooth, well-proportioned German Shorthaired Pointer is far more desirable than one with both outstanding merits and faults. The graceful outline, the well-defined head, the sloping shoulders, the deep chest, the powerful back, the strong limbs, the good bones, the ample muscle, the well-carried tail, and the neat coat indicate nobility and indicate the ancient traditions of the breed. The tradition is more clearly shown in the smooth, harmonious and alert movements, and also without any unnecessary movements. In the early days, he was an excellent working dog, and now he is a very popular family companion dog. Whether as a working dog or as a family companion dog, the German Wirehaired Pointer will always bring positive energy to people.
