Drathaar

The Drathaar's origins trace back to 19th century Germany, where breeders sought to create a versatile hunting dog capable of working in diverse environments. The breed was developed through careful crossbreeding of the Wirehaired Pointing Griffon, German Shorthaired Pointer, and Pudelpointer. The goal was to produce a dog with a weather-resistant coat, excellent scenting abilities, and a strong work ethic. Over time, the Drathaar became a popular choice for hunters across Europe, known for its ability to track, point, and retrieve game on both land and water.
