History
The breed was established by crossing German Wirehaired Pointers, Weimaraners, and the Cesky Fousek (also known as the Bohemian Wirehaired Pointing Griffon). The breed has had slight input from the German Wirehaired Pointer and Pudelpointer as well. The developer, Koloman Slimak, wanted a dog with great stamina which would track, point, retrieve in water or land, and be suitable for a range of prey from birds, hares and other small animals, and large game up to the size of deer.1.

First introduced into the United Kingdom in 1997, they were featured in a "meet the breed" segment of the 2007 broadcast of the famed Crufts dog show in Britain.

Temperament
Laid back and affectionate temperament. They are sociable dogs wo will do best when fully integrated into the family. Generally happy to meet strangers and should get on fine with other pets - especially if raised with them. They are also very energetic dogs who will be restless and destructrive if they don't get enough daily exercise.
