FAQs

Are German Wirehaired Pointers good pets?

Yes, German Wirehaired Pointers (GWPs) are excellent pets for active families due to their affectionate, loyal, intelligent, and friendly nature. They form strong bonds with their owners, get along well with children, and make reliable family companions especially suited for those who can provide plenty of exercise and mental stimulation.

Are German Wirehaired Pointers aggressive to other dogs?

German Wirehaired Pointers are generally good with other dogs if they have been properly socialized from an early age.

Their strong hunting instincts also mean they may chase or act aggressively towards smaller animals like cats unless well trained.

What are the cons of a German Wirehaired Pointer?

Key drawbacks of German Wirehaired Pointers include their very high energy levels which require significant daily exercise, making them unsuitable for first-time dog owners.

They can be reserved or overprotective with strangers, sometimes showing aggression towards unknown dogs, and may suffer from separation anxiety due to their strong attachment to their owners.

How much does a German Wirehaired Pointer cost?

While prices can vary, German Wirehaired Pointer puppies from reputable breeders typically cost between $800 and $2,000, depending on pedigree and registration.
