| The German Wire-haired Pointer is very similar to
the German Short-haired Pointer, except in coat, and
the latter obviously had a hand in the Wire-haired's
make-up, as did the Wire-haired Pointing Griffon
and the Stichelhaar, as well as the Airedale Terrier.
The German Wire-haired Pointer was claimed to
be superior to the Short-haired in forest and water,
and at hunting bigger game. Although popular in its
homeland, the German Wire-haired took longer than
the Short-haired to become established overseas.
The Wire-haired, although it can adapt to the role
of household pet, has had certain aggressive qualities
bred into it, and is best kept purely as a hunting dog. |
