      SPORTING DOGS

      Wirehaired Pointing Griffon

      WIREHAIRED POINTING GRIFFON Often regarded as a breed from France, the Wirehaired Pointing Griffon was actually bred in Holland in the 1870’s by E. K. Korthals, the son of a wealthy banker. Later Korthals carried on his work with breeding in France and Germany, where he extolled his dog’s virtues, especially the keen nose and the ability to point and retrieve game. This dog is adaptable to swamp country because of its harsh coat, and is a strong swimmer and water retriever. It is widely supposed to be of Setter, Spaniel and Otter Hound blood, and a cross with the German Shorthaired Pointer is evident. The Griffon’s hair forms a mustache and eyebrows, and he has a lively and gay air. Height, 19½ to 23½ inches.

      POINTER The Pointer was the first dog used to point game. This breed originated in England and is a mixture of Foxhound, Greyhound, and Bloodhound, and doubtless the Setting Spaniel, which was the progenitor of all bird dogs. The Pointer of today is distinctly a gun dog. He is muscular and lithe, clean-limbed, full of energy and joy of the hunt. His speed, endurance, courage, and concentration on his job make him an ideal dog for the field. At the age of two months he is already pointing. The usual color is white with liver markings but he can be orange and white or black and white. His coat must be very short and have a sheen. Even-tempered, sensible, and affectionate, the Pointer is a good companion both in the field and at home. Wide variations of size and weight are allowable provided balance and symmetry are right for muscularity and coordination.

      GERMAN SHORTHAIRED POINTER This breed is a combination of the old Spanish Pointer, the English Foxhound, and the Bloodhound. With his keen scent he has developed into a pointing bird dog, effective in night hunting; retrieving on land and in water is a strong part of his nature. He is equally valuable as a watchdog and friend. He works with all kinds of game from birds through rabbit and opossum to deer. His coat is water-resistant and his feet are webbed, making it easy for him to retrieve in rough country and icy water. Height 21 to 25 inches at shoulder; weight 45 to 75 pounds.

      GERMAN WIREHAIRED POINTER Intelligent and determined, this dog is definitely a Pointer and has a lively manner and a sturdy build. He is rather aloof but not unfriendly. Combined in his breed are the traits of the Foxhound, Pointer, and Poodle. The German Wirehair points and retrieves equally well on land and in the water. He has a very keen nose, a tough constitution, and a stiff, wiry coat, flat-lying but long enough to shield his body and protect him in all sorts of bad weather. Usually his color is liver and white, with brown nose and head. Height at withers 22 to 26 inches.

      CHESAPEAKE BAY RETRIEVER This dog is a true American, having originated around the Chesapeake Bay area. After considerable crossbreeding, a definite type was developed by about 1885. It showed great adaptability in the rough, icy waters of the Chesapeake and was able to retrieve hundreds of ducks a day. The dog’s coat should be thick and short and the color of dead grass. Its texture is important as the oil in the harsh outer coat and woolly undercoat helps keep the cold water from reaching the dog’s skin. This breed is courageous, alert, intelligent, has a love of water and a good disposition, and makes a fine companion and worker. The Flat-Coated and Curly-Coated Retrievers are the most important outcrosses of the breed. Height, 21 to 26 inches; weight, 55 to 75 pounds.

      CURLY-COATED RETRIEVER The Curly-Coated Retriever is supposed to be descended from the English Water Spaniel, the retrieving Setter, and the Irish Water Spaniel. Later the St. John’s Newfoundland and the Poodle were added to the crossing, giving his coat a tight curl—the coat should be a mass of crisp curls all over in liver or black. He is considered easy to train, of great endurance, affectionate and hardy, and he loves the water. He makes delightful company and a good guard dog.

      FLAT-COATED RETRIEVER This dog was for the most part developed in England and he dates back to 1860. He is both a natural water dog, retrieving and delivering with a commendable style, and excellent for upland shooting. He is the only Retriever that points and is an all-round gun dog. The original cross was from the Labrador Retriever and the St. John’s Newfoundland; the Gordon Setter and the Irish Setter have been added. The coat, usually wholly black, is close-lying, wavy, and dense, and gives protection
