Wirehaired Pointing Griffon

[Mollie10]

While I was in Sweden recently I met one of these and he was sooooo gorgeous ( I hijacked the poor woman walking her dog and interrogated her)

They don't seem to be a recognised breed in Australia. does anyone know anything about them.

Wikipedia has this to say http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wirehaired_Pointing_Griffon

Thanks

I don't believe the breed is in Australia and as you've already said, they certainly aren't an ANKC recognised breed at this stage. The closest breed you will find in Australia is the German Wirehaired Pointer http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/German_Wirehaired_Pointer or perhaps look at the Italian Spinone http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Italian_Spinone

Yes, Cesky Fousek are in NZ!! and are a Griffon too. Look them up too

and Italian Spinone are in Aust. and they are PERFECT (come in brown roan just like the griffon too, or orange like my girl )

Thank you. This little guy was so cute. Kind of reminded me of a brown wheaten.

What a sweet looking dog! And temperment wise, they sound wonderful!

A Chessie breeder in the states has a WPG called Hairy that is pretty cute!
