POINTHAAR

I have owned, breed, competed and hunted with German Wirehaired pointers in Western Australia for the last 30 years. Our wirehairs have competed in the show ring, retrieving and field trials and have always done exceptionally well in all aspects as expected of a true utility dog. I am a strong believer that like our European counterparts that dogs should perform well in both show and hunting. They have been close family members, and generally travel with us 24/7, and are great house dogs. They have a very much bullet proof loving temperament and are willing to please in every aspect of their work (most of the time). As I am an open field trial judge for both pointers and setters and utility dogs and starting my retrieving license this year, I expect an extremely high working standard for my own dogs. As I translated the FCI standard(European Standard) and had it adopted as the Australian standard, my aim for type, look, working ability and temperament is as close to the German standard as I can.
