GERMAN WIREHAIRED POINTER

breed of sporting dog developed in mid-19th-century Germany as an all-purpose, all-weather hunting dog. It generally has a keen nose and a rugged constitution. It stands 56 to 66 cm (22 to 26 inches), weighs 23 to 32 kg (50 to 70 pounds), and has a deep chest, a docked tail, and a short, strong back. Its straight, harsh, white and liver-coloured outer coat covers a dense undercoat, which is heavy in winter and very thin in summer.
