DEUTSCH DRAHTHAAR
Welcome to our Deutsch Drahthaar page. You may be wondering - what is a Deutsch Drahthaar? Well, it is a German Versatile Gundog Breed. The Deutsch Drahthaar was created in Germany in the late 19th century by a small group of dedicated breeders who set out to develop a versatile hunting dog that would satisfy all aspects of German hunting in field, forest, and water. This group of breeders succeeded in creating a versatile hunting dog that took its traits from the best dogs of the existing coarse hair breeds, cross bred with the shorthair blood. These ancestors included the Stichelhaar, Pudelpointer, Griffon, and the Deutsch-Kurzhaar.
The Deutsch Drahthaar is a
mid-sized, substantial dog. The height at shoulder varies from around 61 to 68
cm for males, and 57 to 64 cm for females. The coat is generally wiry, and
tightly fit with a thick under wool. This coat was developed to provide optimal
protection from external influences such as moisture, cold and heat, as well as
thorns, brush and insects. The extended "eyebrows" and the typical beard give
the DD his characteristic appearance. The breed has a variety of colorations.
These colorations are: brown and white or black and white ticked usually with
some solid patches, and solid brown with or without a white chest patch. For more information, click
