How many types of Wirehaired Pointing Griffons are there?
While there is formally just one type of Wirehaired Pointing Griffon, there are two major lineages following the addition of the Cesky Fousek dog into some Griffon lines.
In the 1980s, the Wirehaired Pointing Griffon Club of America intentionally introduced bloodlines from the Cesky Fousek, a rare Czech hunting dog, into their breed to diversify the gene pool. This led to some Wirehaired Pointing Griffon lines mixing with this rare breed.
