Breed Review: German Wire-Haired Pointing Dog (19 Pics)

#16 German wire-haired cops are mobile and energetic dogs, so keeping in a city apartment is undesirable for them.

A dacha or a cottage with a plot, a garden, or a forest thicket within walking distance will become a dream home for a pet. The Drathhaars have a dense coat and they easily tolerate light frosts, so representatives of this breed can be settled in the yard, provided that you provide your pet with a warm kennel with double walls. But do not forget that in case of sharp drops in temperature (–20 ° C), the dog must be taken into the house.

#17 Individuals forced to live in apartments need good walking, combined with sufficient physical activity.

Usually, German Wire-Haired Pointing Dogs walk twice a day, and each of these "excursions" should last at least 2-3 hours. You can include training elements in the walk. For example, it will be useful for a dog to run a couple of kilometers.

The coat of this breed is not the longest and practically does not get confused, so it is enough to walk on it with a brush once a week to remove dead hairs. But during the molting period, such a procedure will have to be carried out more often, especially if the animal lives in an apartment. To do this, buy a brush with metal teeth, as other varieties with coarse "wiry" dog hair simply cannot cope with it. It is useful to comb the Drathhaar even after running through forests and swamps to free the fur from plant seeds and thorns. In addition, for additional protection of the dog's "coat", you can buy a pair of blankets and put them on your pet every time you go out with him for a walk.
