Overview
The German Wirehaired Pointer was first bred in the late 1800s and in the beginning of the 1900s in Germany. The origin of this breed is based on the thoughts of Sigismund Freiherr von Zedlitz und Neukirch. It was cautiously crossbred from the German Pointer and numerous other breeds. Not everyone agrees on all of these breeds, but it is believed that these breeds were the Wirehaired Griffon, the Poodle-Pointer, the Foxhound and the Bloodhound. In Germany, the Wirehaired Pointer is the most popular dog. It was however only formally recognized during the 1920s.
