Wirehaired pointing Griffon
(Korthals Griffon)
This versatile hunting breed was created and developed in the 1860s- 1870s by Edward K Korthals who, although lived in Germany, was himself a Dutchman. It was around this time that many of the German HPR breeds we see today were being created and developed. There was much crossbreeding in France where interest had generated when Korthals served as an agent to the Duke of Penthievre. Korthals developed this breed for coat type which should be hard and coarse with heavy beard & eyebrows, love of water and intelligence. The KG stands at around 22-24 inches so is some what smaller than the average GWP.
