Caring for a Wirehaired Pointing Griffon

Health

This is a generally healthy breed with a 12-15 year lifespan, though hip dysplasia and progressive retinal atrophy do occur. Cataracts are notably more common in this breed than in many others — a specific inherited gene variant causing juvenile cataracts has been identified in Wirehaired Pointing Griffon family lines.

Nutrition

A quality diet matched to this breed's genuinely active, working-dog lifestyle.

Grooming

The wiry double coat needs hand-stripping a couple of times a year to maintain its texture, plus regular brushing; the facial furnishings need occasional trimming.

Training

Highly trainable and eager to work closely with their handler, Griffons do well with positive reinforcement and need genuine daily exercise given their sporting-dog background.

About the breed

The Wirehaired Pointing Griffon was developed in the 1870s by Dutch breeder Eduard Korthals, who crossed German Griffons, French and German Pointers, Setters, and Spaniels to create a versatile, close-working gundog with a coat tough enough for thick cover and cold water. Still called the "Korthals Griffon" in France and Quebec, the breed was built to be an all-purpose hunting companion able to point, retrieve, and work both land and water.

Wirehaired Pointing Griffons are known for a close, affectionate bond with their people — bred to live and hunt in close partnership with a handler rather than working at a distance, which shapes the breed's genuinely people-oriented temperament today.
