I am very allergic to dogs. ive been around both the long & short haired V's and German pointers. both breeds presented me with breathing problems and also gave me hives if the hair touched me and if I came into contact with saliva. then I met a Wirehaired Pointing Griffon. I had absolutely no allergy response from this dog. I was very surprised! anyway, I put my name on a breeders list, received my pup almost a year and a half ago. this guy is an incredible hunter a complete natural pointer and his retrieve is impressive (with very little training I might add), and an even more incredible house pet!
If allergies are a concern, and hunting is a passion I would highly recommend this breed. I never imagined I could own a dog like this and remain healthy.
Just my 2 cents.
