FAQs

What is the difference between a Wirehaired Pointer and a Korthals Griffon?

The Wirehaired Pointer, often known as the German Wirehaired Pointer, and the Korthals Griffon, also called the Wirehaired Pointing Griffon, are both versatile hunting breeds with key differences. The Korthals Griffon originated in the Netherlands and is smaller and more compact, standing about 22-24 inches tall, with a dense, wiry coat that includes distinctive facial hair to protect against brush. The German Wirehaired Pointer is larger, typically 24-27 inches tall, with a leaner frame and less facial hair. Temperament-wise, both are friendly and active, but the Griffon is often described as more people-oriented and adapted for close work with hunters, while the Pointer covers ground faster. Lifespan for the Griffon is usually 10-12 years, slightly shorter than the Pointer's 13-15 years.

What is the personality of a Korthals Griffon?

The Korthals Griffon is known for being affectionate, friendly, and highly people-oriented. They are intelligent, loyal, and eager to please, thriving when part of an active family life. These dogs are dependable and gentle, often reserved but not aggressive toward strangers, making good watchdogs. They require regular exercise, consistent training, and social interaction to be well-balanced companions.

Are Wirehaired Griffons good family dogs?
