German Wirehaired Pointers - National Gundog Association 2nd August 2026

Thank you to everyone for your entries and accepting my decisions in a sporting manner.

The wire coat is one of the most important features of the breed, it is the reason the breed was created in

Germany, the harsh, tight fitting wire coat is what gives the dog protection in dense cover and icy

water, Remember it is a MAXIMUM of 4cm in length and whilst coats today were not overly long, some could

have been harsher.

GWP Veteran Dog:

1ST Lux vom Maibrook (Imp Deu) (Dr E & Dr D Blanco & Osborne)

Always loved this boy, 7 years old with a correct typical head, slightly rounded skull, darkest of eye with an

intelligent and kind expression. Strong deep muzzle, nicely furnished, broad open nostrils with excellent dark

pigment. Strong neck with well boned legs and tight knit feet. Deep chest and well ribbed back, firm slightly

sloping topline and enough rear angle, moved out tidy. Best Veteran in Breed.

head, kind expression and a correct deep muzzle with good furnishings Strong neck of correct length leading

into excellent shoulders and correct upper arm angle. Well bodied, chest reaching to elbows, good bone with

tight knit feet. Good rear angulation and harsh coat. Moved out very well, Best Puppy in Breed and later in the

day pulled out all the stops to take Best Puppy in Show, huge congratulations.

2ND Firfame My Boy Ajax (Miss H Pickering)

8 month old boy with a lighter frame than 1 and who needs time. Lovely head and eye, broad nose and wide

open nostrils, kind expression, would benefit from adding some weight on him to make a better picture. Good

coat texture, needs to settle and come together on the move.

This boy pushed hard for top honours, he is litter brother to my CC and res CC winners and they are all very

similar in type, build and construction. This boy has a beautiful head, dark eyes, good furnishings, harsh coat and

is well off for bone and substance. Deep chest, tight feet, well bodied and excellent rear quarters, really liked

him. Moves well but just a little too proud of his tail.
