They are noted for having a distinctive beard with whiskers and eyebrows. Their rectangular bodies are safeguarded by a wiry coat. They are also notable for having eyes that many feel resemble that of a human. This is perhaps one of the biggest reasons for their popularity.<\/p>\n<p>The coat of the German Wirehaired Pointer is a blend of white and liver. The pattern itself can be spotted, but it is also possible for the pattern of this breed to be roan, or even ticked. In case you don\u2019t know, roan refers to a mixture that features colored hair seamlessly blended with white hairs. A ticked pattern features smallish, somewhat isolated areas of darkened hairs. These darkened hairs are then set against a white background.<\/p>\n<p>The beards, whiskers, and eyebrows of the German Wirehaired Pointer are designed to protect its face.<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"German_Wirehaired_Pointer_Grooming\"><\/span><strong>German Wirehaired Pointer Grooming<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>The double coat of the German Wirehaired Pointer is certainly beautiful. It is also a little on the harsh side, which can present certain grooming challenges. For example, you are going to need to make sure you are stripping your German Wirehaired Pointer on a regular basis. This process involves removing all of its dead hair. There are a couple of different ways to achieve this. You can do it by hand, or you can opt to do the job with a stripping knife. Either way, you are looking at a potentially tedious task. You will probably need to strip your dog at least twice a year. The first time will be in the early weeks of spring, and then you can do it again in the fall.<\/p>\n<p>In addition to the stripping knives, you are also going to need bristle brushes and stainless steel combs. One of the benefits to taking good care of its coat is that you won\u2019t need to bathe the dog as much as you would with many other breeds.<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"German_Wirehaired_Pointer_Temperament\"><\/span><strong>German Wirehaired Pointer Temperament<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>The temperament of German Wirehaired Pointers is generally considered to be a very sweet disposition. Nonetheless, these are dogs that are known to have a great deal of energy. They love to run around, and they certainly love to assert themselves whenever possible. You are also going to find that they can be highly demanding of your attention.<\/p>\n<p>These dogs are particularly popular with hunters. To that end, they are bred to have hours of energy and stamina. This is something you are going to need to keep in mind with not only training your German Wirehaired Pointer, but in terms of giving them things to do, as well. You should expect to engage this breed with a number of dog sports. This is also an excellent breed for anyone who enjoys hiking, camping, or spending a good deal of time in the outdoors. The breed can also be good with children, but this is often more likely with younger dogs that grow up around children. If you are introducing a German Wirehaired Pointer who is older to kids, there may be some problems. This depends mightily on the temperament of the dog, as well as the age of the child or children. This breed also doesn\u2019t get along particularly well with cats.<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"German_Wirehaired_Pointer_Training\"><\/span><strong>German Wirehaired Pointer Training<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>Smart, stubborn, determined, and energetic are all good words to describe German Wirehaired Pointers. This is something that can be kept in mind, as you begin to train them. Ideally, you should begin to train your German Wirehaired Pointer puppy as soon as you bring them home. Even at young ages, these dogs can be extremely trainable. Creating a routine of training and rewards early on will make it easy to continue working with your dog over time. Once they have learned something, they tend to remember it.<\/p>\n<p>Patience, firmness, and consistency are all important things to keep in mind during training.<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"German_Wirehaired_Pointer_History\"><\/span><strong>German Wirehaired Pointer History<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>Despite the name, this dog was created with an eye towards flexibility. In other words, German hunters wanted to have a dog that could do more than just point or just retrieve. They wanted a breed that could be capable of both in equal measures. German Shorthairs and Griffins were among the breeds used to create the German Wirehaired Pointer as it is known in the present.<\/p>\n<p>In Germany, they achieved breed status by 1870. In the United States, this occurred in 1959.<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Other_names\"><\/span><strong>Other names<\/strong><span
