Origin
The German Wirehaired Pointer originated in Germany in the second half of the 19th century. Hunting had became a widespread pastime free of class distinction, and the wide variety of sportsmen at that time wanted an all-around hunting companion that could work with virtually any game in any climate or terrain. The GWP was developed from crosses between the Griffon, Stichelhaar, Pudelpointer, and the German Shorthair.
