Drahthaar

Since they are currently dogless after the abrupt loss of their two pooches, my daughter's family is looking into getting a Deutsch Drahthaar. Never heard of them? You have lots of company, I am sure. Evidently that breed is the immediate ancestor of the German Wire-haired Pointer, and the two breeds are sometimes confused. Drahthaars have been called "consummate gun dogs," and were developed in 1902.
