Latest German Wirehaired Pointer Frequently Asked Questions:
I'm planning on getting a German Wirehaired Pointer and would like to know the general temper of the breed. Help would be greatly thanked.
Answer:I have a german wirehaired pointer. I found her in the local pound when she was about 8 months old. That was 7 years ago. They can be stubborn but soft so heavy handed training techniques doesn't work on them very well. I have found mine to be very loyal with a great sense of humor. They can be quite independent especially in the field but they don't range as far as german shorthairs or english pointers. They are very versatile as being quite good in upland and water fowl hunting as well as in other dog sports like agility. Some can be quite sharp when it comes to cats and other furry animals. So be careful if you have cats especially with a rescue. Some GWPs are cat killers.
