| Colour The colours of the German Wirehaired Pointer can be Brown Roan (the primary colour) (ticked or spotted) or Solid Brown with a brown nose. (Solid brown is not the primary colour.)

| Grooming The coat of the German Wirehaired Pointer is naturally short (around 2 cm) and with the addition of a beard and brow. Grooming is not really required if the coat is correct and they just need a bath to keep the coat clean. Plucking of dead hair at end of weather season twice a year is all the grooming they should require. The coat is water repellant and should feel fairly rough to the touch. |
