Pointing Dogs

The Bohemian Wire-haired Pointing Griffon is a versatile continental gundog built to hunt, point, and retrieve. Intensely driven and quick to learn; they are patient and friendly with children; and they do not cope well when left alone for long periods. The Bohemian Wire-haired Pointing Griffon demands at least 1.5 to 2 hours of vigorous exercise daily, and a weekly brush keeps their coat looking its best. Only very active, experienced owners who can truly match their drive should consider Bohemian Wire-haired Pointing Griffon.
