KidBowHunter Report post Posted November 1, 2014 Well, I was informed yesterday that my family will be getting a Wirehaired Pointing Griffon puppy after Christmas. We will be training him/her for bird hunting and waterfowl retrieval. Just curious if anyone on here has ever owned one? What they are like, needs, etc?

Swivelhead Report post Posted November 2, 2014 Have zero experience with a WHPG. When I was a kid we had German Wirehairs, a similar breed. Likely, the dog will be birdy as all get out so all you'll need to do is refine pointing, backing & retrieving. Join a bird dog club and train with others, it's a lot of fun. Dogs have a good time too. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
