Wirehaired Pointing Griffon Breed Overview

The Wirehaired Pointing Griffon, often called the “supreme gundog,” was developed in the late 19th century in Europe, particularly by Dutch breeder Eduard Korthals. Known for their distinctive rough, wiry coat and keen hunting ability, they are versatile dogs excelling in both water and field work. Beyond hunting, they are affectionate, loyal companions with a playful, intelligent nature, making them equally suitable as family dogs.

This breed falls into the medium-to-large category, with adult males typically weighing 50–70 lbs and females around 45–60 lbs. Growth tracking is especially important for Griffons, as their athletic build requires balanced muscle development and joint health. Monitoring their weight helps ensure they don’t grow too quickly, reducing the risk of orthopedic issues and supporting optimal performance as active working or companion dogs (American Kennel Club).

How Much Bigger Will My Wirehaired Pointing Griffon Puppy Get?

Most Wirehaired Pointing Griffons reach 50% of their adult weight by 5–6 months. By the time they’re 10–12 months old, many will be close to their final size, though some may continue filling out until 15–18 months.

A helpful rule of thumb is: Double their weight at 16 weeks to estimate their adult size.

Note: Unlike giant breeds that may take 2 years to fully mature, Griffons finish most of their growth within the first year, but their muscular build continues developing into young adulthood.

Wirehaired Pointing Griffon Growth Tips

Nutrition

• Feed a balanced, high-quality large-breed puppy food to promote steady growth and prevent overly rapid weight gain.
• Offer 3 meals per day until 6 months, then transition to 2 meals daily.
• Avoid overfeeding—Griffons are prone to weight gain if not given enough exercise.

Exercise

• Provide moderate daily exercise such as walks, play sessions, and safe puppy training drills.
• Avoid high-impact running or jumping until growth plates close (around 12–15 months).
• Mental stimulation is important—incorporate training, scent games, and retrieval work.

Health Watch

• Watch for hip dysplasia and elbow dysplasia, conditions that can affect medium-to-large breeds.
• Keep growth steady to avoid excess strain on developing joints.
• Maintain routine vet check-ups to monitor weight, body condition, and bone development (Orthopedic Foundation for Animals).
