The Wirehaired Pointing Griffon strikes everyone as a dog breed whose usefulness as a hunting dog and a gundog is beyond a reasonable doubt. This diligent breed gets its name from the appearance of its coat, which is usually a harsh low-shedding coat. You cannot fail to recognize a Griff due to its loving and outgoing nature both at home and in the hunting fields.
This breed has been described as both happy and friendly. They generally get along with people, and they barely qualify to be guard dogs owing to their gentleness. When kept indoors, the Wirehaired Pointing Griffon prefers older children who have a better understanding of how to handle dogs properly. Further to that, this breed interacts quite well with other pets, though they might require some training to get over their nervousness.
That said, however, the Wirehaired Pointing Griffons are quite energetic, which is one of the reasons they are excellent hunting dogs. They have been found to do quite well in areas where they have plenty of space to run around in. As much they can adapt to life in city apartments, they are best suited for the countryside and rural areas.
A brief description of the Wirehaired Pointing Griffon's appearance
The Korthal's Griffons or Griffon d'arret a poil dur Korthals are strong medium-sized dogs. As already introduced, this breed gets its name from the appearance of its coat. The undercoat is usually thick and is weather-resistant. The topcoat, on the other hand, has a harsh texture and comprises straight, wiry hairs. Griffs have defined eyebrows and a moustache, both of which happen to be extensions of their undercoat.
Most hunters and dog owners have been found to prefer the steel grey-colored Griffs with brown markings. Some tend to prefer griffons that have chestnut brown coats, white and orange coats, white and brown coats, as well as roan coats, but their number is not as large as those who prefer the steel grey colored Griffs. The brown, white and orange furred Griffons are perceived as being less desirable.
The male Wirehaired Pointing Griffons measures 22 to 24 inches in height and the females average 20 to 22 inches. The average weight of most Wirehaired Pointing Griffons is 50 to 60 pounds, which is quite ideal for the hunting activities these dogs are used for.
