The Griffon d'arrêt à poil dur - Korthals is a French breed of dog recognized by the FCI ( FCI Group 7, Section 1.3, Standard No. 107 ). The breed is called in German: French wire-haired pointer (Korthals). It is mostly referred to as Griffon à Poil Dur for short ; it is also known under the name Griffon Korthals or Korthals Griffon .
Origin and history
This rough-haired breed of hunting dog was bred out of many European dog breeds of this type of hunting dog by the Dutchman Eduard Korthals, who lived in Germany at the end of the 19th century. After 15 years he managed to create a uniform trunk in terms of appearance and performance and to set a standard in 1886, which was only revised in 1929. Korthals himself did not want the wire-haired pointing dogs to be separated into graver hair, wire hair and Korthal's griffon. An application in this direction failed in 1888. The differences between Deutsch Drahthaar , Deutsch Stichelhaar and Griffon d'arrêt à poil dur - Korthals are very difficult to determine, even for experts, at best through the hair structure. Although the breed took place in Germany, the breed is listed as a French one.
The French word Griffon means "wire hair" and is the name for the wire-haired coat.
