A Dutch breeder, named Dutchman Eduard Korthal, takes responsibility for the development of the Griffon Pointer, sometimes called the Wirehaired Griffon Pointer, around 1870. Korthal's idea was to develop a hearty dog that would hunt in various types of terrain. Korthal succeeded in fostering the breed over a 20-year period, and wrote a standard description of the dog, resulting in the formation of the Griffon Club in 1916. The Griffon pointer remains a hearty, energetic breed used for many different outdoor activities. It also serves as a loyal and dedicated companion.
Pointing
The pointing Griffon shows exceptional skill in the field while on a hunt. Once they spot an animal in the field, they demonstrate a deliberate and unique pointing technique. The frequently stay within the hunter's gun range, acquiring a pointing "freeze." They do not shy from loud gun reports, and point equally well at ground game or perched fowl. Griffons work well on foot, side by side with their owner.
Retrieving
The pointing Griffon has an exceptional thick body coat, which keeps it insulated against the coldest temperatures. Once trained, it makes a fine retrieval dog for ducks and geese. It has no inherent fear of the water, and easily enters it to retrieve game. Their wire-haired coat serves as a natural water-repellent.
Hunting and Tracking
The pointing Griffon has an acute sense of small, coupled with a high intelligence and energetic demeanor. They have an instinctive passion for the hunt, specializing in tracking and flushing out hare and quail. They do very well in thick marshland areas which have a lot of thick underbrush and briers. They also excel in upland areas, hilly and mountainous regions.
Companionship
The Griffon pointer has a kind and sweet nature, always eager to please. These canines require copious amounts of exercise, making them an eligible walking or jogging mate. They seldom stray from their owners, and are quick to respond to commands.They can do well in an apartment setting, but prefer large backyards and plenty of exercise They shed very little, but must be stripped weekly to allow new hair growth. They take to the water quite naturally, so they may be taught to retrieve in a pool. They have a calm and loving disposition around children.
Guarding
Due to its high energy level and natural intelligence, the pointing Griffon makes an excellent guard dog for small or large properties. They have a keen alterness, strong sense of smell and hearing. The possess a prominent, husky bark.
