Wirehaired Pointing Griffon

Wirehaired Pointing Griffons were built to hunt in briars and water, which means they have the stubborn problem-solving skills of a dog that spent centuries ignoring commands to push through thorny cover. They’re affectionate and eager to please, but only after they’ve decided something is actually worth their attention. If you own one, you’re living with a compact, bearded velcro dog that sheds like it’s insulted you.
