#10 The origin of the dog goes back to the hunting cynologist Sigismund von Zedlitz and Neukirch, who tried to breed a versatile and powerful pointing and full-use dog around 1880.
#11 This breed should be usable in the field, in the forest, in the mountains, and on the water before and after the shot.
For this purpose Pudelpointer, Griffon Korthals, German Stichelhaar, and German Shorthaired Pointer were crossed with each other - the result is the German Wirehaired Pointer, a courageous, loyal hunting companion, affectionate family dog, and attentive guardian of house and yard.
