Wirehaired Pointing Griffon Dog Breed 

My wife and I have adopted a female griffon 5 months ago. She is 9 years old and she is a sweety. The perfect dog

I had a Wirehaired Pointing Griffon for 13 years when he passed. I miss him, but also miss the breed. And I agree, you need to have space to exercise the breed. I initially had him on the farm for the first part of his life and he grew up knowing the outdoors. As he aged and slowed down, he actually preferred to stay closer to me. If he was mad at me for some reason he'd keep his distance, but overall loved to be right beside me. Ultimately, he had kidney issues that couldn't be addressed. I have so many great memories with him.

I am a hunter trained in Germany and I have enjoyed the company and support of may dogs, including German Shorthaired pointers, Longhaired Pointers, Wirehaired Pointers. Over the last 30 years I owned and enjoyed the compamy of a Weimaraner, a German Wirehaired Pointer, and a Wirehaired Pointing Griffon. I and my wife loved them all, but by far our favorite was the Wirehaired Pointing Griffon. His name was Lorbas. We just lost him about a month ago at age 12. He was an incredibly understanding, perceptive and sensitive dog, allways ensuring thet he did the right thing. I only had to tell him once, not to go on the road from our 10 acre property, and he never did. We originally got him as a companion to our ageing Wirehaired Pointer Fritz, who initially did not enjoy the young dog's company at all. But when Fritz got old, deaf and blind, Lorbas initiated a routine - unasked - to take the old dog around the property every day, leading him on, caring for him. Lorbas was an absolutely amazing dog. I summarized his life in a video available on RU-vid: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-rQFLCeNbtm8.html Jochen

Love my Maggie! She's 7 and and no regrets here! She's a happy girl and lights up the room with her griff smile!

I love my WPG. Otis is the happiest of dogs and just loves to be near his people

Getting a 8 week old puppy this Saturday. Excited

My Griff is soooooo sweet. She just loves to snuggle in the best possible way. The velcro thing is very true.

They are the best dogs, with so much personality. I live my baby Belle. She fell out of the truck and broke her pelvis. The vets said she’d never have pups. She had 14 pups. Griffons are so great!

My wife and I are getting a Wirehair Griffon pup end of June from a local breeder. We hunt birds but we also work, not yet retired . Breeder seemed fine with that he stated people have to work for a living, not everyone is retired or self employed.

I have one ❤ love my baby 🇧🇷

Great! Everything I wanted to hear about this dog in one video.

This women knows what she's talking about. I have a 1yo WPG and he's just like she says.

I have a whpg who was a rescue. He is such a wonderful and loving dancing dog. My favorite breed now!

Matilda is the best dog we have ever owned 13:09

Love our WHP! We do leave him alone 1-2 days during the week while we go to work. Granted he has a doggy door and roams in-out the house. Always happy to see us when we arrive. He is a well exercised dog and great with people. Gets overly excited with kids, but then calms down. We don't hunt with him, but sport with him a lot!

In love with my grand daughter Millie who is now learning more in hunting school.

I’m getting a griffon pup as a second family dog in two months from a breeder in Helena MT. Great video!

Love my Griff! She is the best!

GREAT info. I have one and that is here to a T..

Heavily considering one of these, they seem too check every box i have / need in a dog Thanks for all the info

Easy to train and love their owners, they can be a bit emotional but they are amazing. Ours does over 5miles of constant ocean swimming everyday around NS. The non barking aspect is also a bonus, please don’t get one unless you give them 3 hours of hard work a day (hunting or frisbee) and spend plenty of time with em.

Your video confirmed my love for this breed! Thank you for interviewing this lady. Do you have her contact info?

Thanks, I had a pair of German Shorthairs that I loved, and they loved me in return. It’s almost 9 months since Zoë left, Murph has been gone almost 3 years. I think I would like a Griffon, if I decided to have another.

we just love ❤️ our Griff very smart very protective of our house but take her to a farmers market and she wants everyone to pet her and wants to play with other dogs never barks at them

To be honest you have pretty much covered it all there. I am writing from North Wales & we one of the very few Griffons in the U.K Much more common around the "Med" They are stunning dogs. BUT they are not for first time dog owners. They are subtle, crafty & will pick out any weakness within the owner. We would not be without ours & we have always had dogs over the last 40 Yrs. Stunning breed ...... but please do get one of these if you not grown up around dogs. Griffons are "Special"

I have a wired hair pointing griffon and she is a sweet dog who loves kids but is always ready for the hunt. They definitely need that free exercise 2 or 3 times a day.

As soon as my yard gets fenced next year, I plan to get a Griff and a Viszla. They'll be best buds. It seems that they are similar in temperament, exercise requirements, etc.

Great dog , but not for a lazy suburban owner.

The coat is hardly a "teflon coat!!!" My Griff is a velcro. Everything sticks to her. This is actually my least favorite part of the breed.

SNL anyone
